In a Nutshell:
Jack Dawson has an idea, but he can't follow through without the help of Elsie Green. But she demands a lot...
The Actual Review:
I can't believe that I've actually managed to reach the end of this book. At about 50%, I was seriously considering DNFing.
First off, Jack (The Jackdaw) is not a mastermind: he is an idiot. He manipulates his way into disaster and fails to recognise that it is him who is the problem, not 'randoms.'
And Jack (The Jackdaw) isn't the only character I have a problem with - why would a person like Elsie: a distant, poetic, dreaming historyphile, know about the code for creating an app?!
I wasn't captivated from page 1 and most of the time I found myself not caring. Perhaps I could put that down to the fact I'm not a 15 year old boy.
However, at this point I would like to say that at the back of the book, there is a little key that indicates important factors in the book. One of the factors is comedy. Jackdaw and the Randoms is quite funny. I'll give it that.
I received this book as part of the Goodreads first-reads programme. This did not affect my review. Thank you to Hot Key Books for providing me with a copy.
In conclusion:
