1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Magic Tree House: Dolphins at Daybreak". The story was incredibly predictable and lacked any real excitement or suspense. The characters felt one-dimensional and I couldn't connect with them at all. The writing style was also quite simplistic, which made it difficult for me to stay engaged in the story. Overall, I would not recommend this book, especially for older readers who are looking for more depth and complexity.
2. Mark - 1 star - I found "Magic Tree House: Dolphins at Daybreak" to be incredibly boring. The plot was unoriginal and the narrative was repetitive. The dialogue between the characters was poorly written and lacked any real emotion or depth. Additionally, the book seemed to be geared towards a much younger audience, with simple language and predictable storylines. Overall, I would not waste my time with this book as there are many other better children's books out there.
