    <body><![CDATA[Tom Holt's books are crazy and convoluted. The ultimate in humorous escapism, I enjoy his humor at the end of a day (after working in a humorless industry). I liked this book, but the plot in this one took so many twists and turns that my head was spinning by the end.

    <body><![CDATA[Really quite disappointing. The premise had promise (heh), and there is some funny stuff in there, but Holt has one unforgivable tick that made me ready to throw the book against the wall. He tells a lot and shows little.

    <body><![CDATA[Horrid.  Actually, that isn't quite fair...the first half was brilliant.  And then the plot got completely lost and it wasn't worth reading the rest (I did, but rather wished I hadn't).  It's a shame, as the first part was so good.  I wish Tom Holt would rewrite the second half. ]]></body>
