What would happen if someone could reach into your mind, make you believe things, so much so that you find it hard to distinguish between what is real and what isn't?
Pierre remains a enigmatic and unknown 'person' for the duration of the novel and it is never really revealed to what extent he can manipulate people, although there are many hints as to his potential.
The book has some interesting ideas about running a democracy in a world where everyone is connected to the "weave" (web) e.g. how a world government can be changed in 24-hours based on the "Will" of the people. I thought that this was a really interesting concept and had me really curious about it.
The ending wasn't a good one, feels like there is a chapter or two missing. Of course this could mean a sequel is in the works but it still could have been done better. This wasn't too bad a book and I might read a sequel (if one is ever released).
Random listing from 'Books'...
When Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and their baby brother go digging in the gravel pit, the last thing they expect to find is a Psammead - an ancient Sand-fairy! Having a Sand-fairy for a pet means having one wish granted each day. But the children don't realize all the trouble wishes can cause. This is a timeless classic with an introduction by Quentin Blake, award-winning illustrator and first-ever Children's Laureate (1999-2001).
