review 1: I'm not a big fan of realistic fiction but my mom was convinced I'd love this book since it was set in our neighborhood. I found it to be a little boring and tedious and not much of a page-turner at all. I recommend this to anyone who's looking for a calm slow read but if you want to get hooked on a book this isn't what you're looking for. I think it's also very mature and more of an adult book than a young adult book.
review 2: While the idea of this book and its characters are a good idea, the execution was all wrong. The voices and dialog was cliched beyond belief and not at all believable. I really liked the concept of a West Village fairy tale (and it is, since most of the scenarios are not very believable), but was constantly irritated by how fake the cha... moreracters sounded. Other than that, it was a fun, mostly mindless read. less
