Gilsdorf's prose is fairly uninteresting. Maybe it is because I am fairly familiar with the area he is writing about, or maybe it is because his experiences weren't really that fascinating. While the book might be insightful for people unfamiliar with the genres, it could easily be mis-leading as well. (less)

"I think the author projects his personal problems to everyone who enjoys fantasy. He's obsessed with this idea of 'escapism.'"

"So far...I think the author's a loser who is projecting his problems to everyone else who visits imaginary realms."

I thought this was a witty and funny edition that fit in well with the previous five books. I had not reread any of the books before picking this book up, but it didn't seem like Colfer was trying to become Douglas Adams (which is a good thing). Instead, he seems to adopt the universe that Douglas Adams created and write about it in his own voice.(less)
