FIRST REVIEWS FOR FISH EYES

This story is a bit off the beaten track, definitely quirky and that is what makes it interesting. It is quietly amusing and mildly shocking as we follow Zazzle from her home in the sea to her unfortunate stranding in the human world. She knows nothing about how to behave or what is appropriate and what isn't and that lack of knowledge leads to a few funny moments with the man who found her and took her home...she calls him "Human." He is very patient with her when he isn't exasperated and confused by her strange behaviour.

The story takes a turn when Zazzle is tricked into following a trusted acquaintance of the man who found her. Her differences are discovered and the people who are holding her want to learn more about her by any means necessary. Zazzle's fear, hopelessness, disappointment and despair are all strongly conveyed to the reader. You really feel for her and the situation she is in.

I did enjoy the story and it does have a satisfying ending. It has substance and a more mature feel to it that would appeal to both young adults and adults. The author's writing style is clear and fluid and very entertaining. Fish Eyes is a very different mermaid story and is definitely worth reading if you are in the mood for something a little unusual.

Okay I brought it from b&n, finished it in one day. I really enjoyed it. Zazzle was hilarious she had me laughing the whole book. Well until the Dr. Ivy drama. Can't wait for book 3 in the oddily series.
