Title: Awful!
Review: Reading this book was like listening to nails dragged across a chalkboard. It was so bad I cringed. Meltzer has created the wimpiest protagonist imaginable. You just want to punch this character in the face and scream, "Man up!" The plot itself is hardly "thrilling," but its banality is far surpassed by the grating dialogue -- complete with pointless character bickering, constant interruptions, and repeated statements of the obvious -- and enough adverbs and adjectives to make Mark Twain roll over in his grave. I can't believe how bad this book was. One star is being kind.
