A decent enough story, set very firmly in Toronto (enough so that I felt as if having Google Street View open while reading would be helpful). The boy coming into his inheritance theme was fairly well done, although the way he discovers a new faerie superpower every time things get sticky was a bit too neat. I personally found the flaky, condescending "Narrator" annoying; another reader said that it annoyed her so much she didn't make it past the Prologue. However, the author is a stand-up comedian and, assuming the Narrator is his comedic voice, familiarity with that side of his work might make the Narrator acceptable if not enjoyable. Personally, I can't imagine how it could.possibly be considered to enhance rather than detract from the story. Averaging a 4-star story and a 1-star narration (both generous assessments) gives 2.5 stars for this one. Not a keeper, but it's a quick read despite its size and I might pick up the sequel (The Prince of Two Tribes) if I come across it. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Chronicles of the Misplaced Prince (book 1) Prijzen
With a pimply face and braces on his teeth, the perpetually clumsy Brendan is having a hard time at school. When he starts hearing voices and conversing with chipmunks, he thinks he can add losing his mind to his growing list of problems. Then he discovers that he's a Faerie who was lost in the human world. Now that he knows his true identity, the human disguise that has been protecting him begins to fade and a whole host of wicked creatures tries to tempt him to use his Faerie power for evil intentions. It's up to Brendan to protect the human world, and to make the ultimate choice between the family he has grown up with and his new Faerie roots. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
