Title: over the top and trite
Review: The highlight of this book for me was the reference to the Luggage of terry pratchett's discworld novels.The book was slightly funny in parts, but it lacked the spark that would have truly made it a funny satire/parody. It had the characters "break the fourth wall" entirely too many times and then had them go right back to what they were doing, as nothing had happened. IF they had made fun of the roles (which they did) and then proceeded to do something completely unexpected or at least original, it would have been funnier. But as it is, they did the equivalent of: saying, "I'm going to step right here without paying attention and slip on a banana peel, to humorous effect," and then doing so. It just isn't funny.For a few pages, half way through, I thought maybe it would break away from this and be fresh and original for two minutes, but no luck.
