review 1: I can't do it. The writing is just so awful, I cannot go on. It has potential to be hilarious, but the writing just is so horrid I can't bring myself to finish. I really don't care about the characters, the narrator is an actual entity that interacts with the reader and that I do like, but the execution just ruined it. I think if it was handled better I'd have enjoyed it. Perhaps this should be targeted to younger readers and not young adults? I don't know, it just didn't do it for me at all and I can't bring myself to read and slug through the last hundred pages.
review 2: This book was TERRIBLE. From the cover art, you would think it had something to do with Greek mythology/fantasy. The art on the dust jacket is awesome, but extremely misleading.Ralph gets a ... moreletter from a strange person he has never heard of or seen before claiming to be his relative asking him to go to Britain to help set up their Internet connection, so he, against his parent's will, flies to their estate. Then,a strange lady who allegedly killed her son comes, asking him to make a wish that she will make come true. Then, he gets trapped in a fantasy land where there are fairies and magic and rainbow gas that he can stand on. Throughout the book, two of his relatives die, and Ralph dies three times and comes back to life twice.This book is hard to follow, and disappointing because the plot kept changing, in a choppy,bad way. I also did not like how the narrator became a character and found it distracting how he/she intervened and interfered with the plot. less
