review 1: The idea of this alternate reality is good, the dialogue, characters, buildup excellent. But theres just something missing that i cant put my finger on. It feels as hollow and empty as the set of the Fantastiks, that all the players are cavorting on a thinly painted backdrop that keeps fading to 'theoretical white'. Maybe its just because its the first volume of a series, & hopefully book 2 will be better. (i also have to admit to being irritated with the romantic mishaps in the middle of the book. the plot depended on them, yes yes i understand, but it made me think less of all the characters and made me not want to finish the book... but i did and alls well that ends well sure you betcha.)
review 2: Ugh. I just can't seem to get through this book. And I ... moreALWAYS finish a book through to the end. But at 350-odd pages in, it's just so annoying. It's like bad High School with the mistaken ideas about people and the she loves him but he loves someone else junk.Example:Mr. thinks Mrs. is cheating. So Mr. starts fawning over an African woman. Said African woman is attracted to another African man. But the African man is drawn to the Mrs. The Mrs. thinks Mr. is cheating with the African woman and so decides to try to seduce Mr's friend. Meanwhile, nobody talks about ANY of their mistaken impressions AT ALL.SO ANNOYING.The book is SUPPOSED to be about a harrowing trip through Africa to find this magical gem. But the trip is the barest of window dressing for chapter after chapter of this aggravating romance tragedy.The concept and the world is interesting but not enough to hold my interest nor keep me from rolling my eyes in sheer annoyance at the story itself. less
