Query: A real review from a real reader

I know that many of the "reviews" that appear here are propoganda put forth by the authors and the author's friends, but I'm a real parent who has spent the last 4 weeks reading this book to my 9-year-old at bedtime. It began promising enough but it became an annoyance quickly. The author flits from idea to idea and never really follows a cohesive story through. Also, readers beware -- the author has filled the book with a lot of words that most adults never come accross in a book. I found myself reaching for a dictionary quite a bit trying to define the "oh-so-smart-and-look-how-clever-I-am" vocabulary. To compare this to Princess Bride does that book a disservice. Bride is cleverly plotted, fresh, intelligent, witty and satirical. This strives desperately to be all of those things and falls flat. Give me my 30 nights back!!!
