review 1: This is my 4th book by Julia Williams and, if I did not already know how cute her books, I would doubt reading any more by her. This book was okay and fun to read for summer but not what I am used to with her books. I could not get involved in the characters as much as her other books. The idea of the play on A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare really drew me to this book. I did like the idea of the plot but for some reason it did not hold my attention. Josie, Diana, Harry and Ant are likeable characters. Tati, Bron and Freddie throw in some fun but still it dragged on for me. I think it was because it took too long for the hypnotism to start. It was okay but not as good as I know her books can be.
review 2: Clearly the author is a big fan of A Midsummer N... moreight's Dream and as such tries to re-write the story in a contemporary fashion. Unfortunately the result is a confusing, repetitive and far too long story. I felt no empathy for any of the characters and by the middle/end couldn't care less who ended up with who. The scenes of 'enchantment' start off as farcical and end up being so long-winded and unbelievable that I just wanted to skip past it all and get to the end. It was a difficult read and hard to persevere with. less
