Title: Close But No Cookie
Product review: I'll sum it up as quickly as I can. After reading about 2/3 of this book, I wasn't sure I wanted to finish, and I don't plan on getting the next book in the series.Pros: a couple of interesting ideas; Pug is a likeable character and the best developedCons: lots of re-tread ideas, especially from Tolkien; reads like a beach novel (lots of starch, not much protein); some completely unbelievable character exchanges (teenage boys don't act like that); some pretty saccharine dialogue and descriptions.
