Title: It's poorly written but you can't help but read until the end.
Review: The title sums it all up. I heard so many great things about the musical for this book and therefore couldn't wait to start the book. It didn't take long for me to lose interest. The writing is confusing so that the reader doesn't have a clue as to what's going on. This begins toward the beginning, when McGuire introduces the dragon clock; even after reading until the end I still don't have a clue as to the purpose of the dragon clock. In fact, I'm not even certain what it is. The book is also rather a dark twist on the movie "Oz." There were times I thought I was reading a bad romance novel with Fabio on the cover. I gave it two stars because even with all its drawbacks I couldn't help but read until the end to find out what happens to Fabala. The premise of the story is interesting but it is not well executed. I've read "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister" and found that a more enjoyable read.
