A review by quantum_singularity
The Merchant of Death by D.J. MacHale
2.0
This book is ok.
But it's not very good.
I feel like I might have enjoyed it more if every instance of the word moment weren't spelled 'mument'...
I don't normally get in a massive tiff about that sort of thing but it said mument a lot.
And I feel like for the target audience of early highschool students, it's probs not that good for reading comprehension and not confusing the shit out of people.
Anyway, point being, at the time when I read this, I picked it up because my brother who is dyslexic put it down after being frustrated by it (for many reasons, but I doubt the purposeful misspelling would have helped), and I can totally see why that would/(does) put people off.
