review 1: This book is the story of what happened to Milton's best friend down in heck, Virgil, who is an absoultely gargatuain boy, who is sent down to Blimpo, where glutunos kids go. Meanwhile Marlo is offered an infernship with Madam Popadure, who dispite being sweet on the outside, is f=rotten on the inside, and now Marlo's acting a bit strange, and Milton is trying to save Virgil, and find out what's the secret(and evil) ingredient in Hambone Hank's food. What will become of our trio of outcasts?
review 2: You can say lots of things about the Heck Saga: you could say that its almost too bizarre to follow, you could say that the puns are far too overused, you could say that the plot doesn't seem to be structured very well or even know where the heck it wants to go. Y
... moreou could say that the characters are kind of flat, you could say that some of the plot points don't really make sense, and you could say that, with a concept such as "Heck" one could have done a bit more with the concept than was done here, so that the book was clever as opposed to, at the very best and for lack of a better word/phrase, whimsical in a ridiculous and occasionally mean-spirited way. But what I also think simply must be said about the Heck saga is that, even with all the flaws, it is vastly entertaining. Maybe not worth rereading very frequently, but vastly entertaining. less
