Reviews

[Chelsea]

A little confusing at times but mostly it was a lot of fun. Also highly recommend the audiobook if you can get it.!

[Eve1972]

This book is simply a piece of art, it looks quit daunting when you first see it, but most of the book consists of amazing pencil drawings. The story itself was just OK I thought, but definitely worth the read!
