The Deep (Ingo Adventures)

Customer Reviews

The Shallows - By: Shawn Watson, 02 Apr 2008
After the wonderfully written Ingo & Tide Knot I was surprised to find that The Deep ended up being so clunky & slow. Not reallly much happens in the 320 pages & there's no sense of urgency, mystery or need to keep turning the page.

Sapphire & her brother Conor are summoned back to the ocean when the Kraken (not the giant squid of common lore) threatens to wreak havoc upon the world when he wakes from his thousand year slumber. The kids sort him out rather easily towards the end of the second act, leaving the last third of the book to just ramble on about nothing in particular & sort of fizzle out instead of ending on a high note.

Helen Dunmore could have DONE MORE to make this is as unputdownable as the first two. It should have been structured better & had a stronger storyline. I often guessed that she was just winging it with the slightest of plots & didn't reallly know how it was going to end up.

With the final book in the series, The Crossing of Ingo, due out in a couple of months I will still be checking it out. I can already tell exactly what gimmicks Dunmore is going to use. But that is because I am a know-it-alll.
