The Blurb On The Back:
Warning: Do not read this book!
... For amongst its strange and alarming contents you will fin:
two extraordinary adventurers ...
a missing magician's diary ...
a symphony of smells ...
and a deadly secret.
But wait, you already know too much! It is too late. I'm afraid nothing will stop you now. Open the book if you must. But, please, tell no one.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
In trying too hard to create an artificial sense of humour, Bosch has created an artificial, oddly lifeless book that lacks charm. This is a shame because a book about synaesthesia has the potential to be fascinating and it seems that Bosch's intention is to develop a series around it. Unfortunately, I'm not interested in reading more about Cass's or Max-Earnest's adventures.
