Een heerlijk jeugdboek, precies zoals een jeugdboek hoort te zijn. Spannend en met een echte held als hoofdpersonage, die het op moet nemen tegen de bad guys.

Het concept is leuk maar het boek kon mij niet echt boeien. Moest ik in de leeftijdscategorie vallen waarvoor het boek geschreven is, had ik het waarschijnlijk meer kunnen waarderen.
De "technologische elfen" vond ik ook maar niets. Mijn idee over elfen zijn wezens van de natuur en daar past technologie niet bij. Al bij al las het vlot en beval de humor mij wel.
