melmollick's review against another edition
3.0
One of my students loaned me this book because he wanted me to read it. Once I got into it, I couldn't put it down! I finished within three days.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up this book to read it. It wasn't bad as in graphic or full of language, and it was fairly interesting. However, some of it was rather crude. There was an entire chapter devoted to "bathroom things" which I was not interested in. While there was only one bad word, there was also mention of the main character's dad leaving his family and never returning after he got out of the marines himself. My other objection was the talk of wizards, elves, fantasy, and a book series that I don't and won't read. Because of this I knew it was not a book I would hand to my nephews to read.
