Well one could say that It is a feat to write a book at all, and especially at the age of 14! But I fear that Hasties attempts at humor are rather to infantile for the audience at which this book is aimed. The stories themselves, do, at least in outline have some merit, but the way in which they are written really does insult the originals genius. I have no doubt this is not the last we will here of Hastie and I do think there is some promise here, but in this book you really do have to look very hard.
