This is pulp alternative fiction about various cardboard characters with all the interest of something computer generated. I hate putting a book down without finishing it but this one seriously tempeted me. The characters are all unbeleivably stereotyped making this book more suited to the younger reader. Maybe the under 6 age group. Funnily enough I'd looked forward to reading this book and even ignored the bad reviews other folks had given it. Please don't make my mistake, order something else instead.
