Half of this book is out standing,told with flare and passion,the other half is blah.The outstanding part- the first half of the book while Gribly was in the city wrecking havoc on the Dunelord was written about as good as any fantasy fiction on the market. The woman who raised him,and the scene of her and the pit-strider was outstanding.As was the part of the old pick pocket. The telling of his gift was very good.The bad-as soon as Gribly left the city with his side-kicks the story fell apart for me.I love this genre of fantasy but some of this was over the top,even for me.Wings on a hat and shoes was a bit much.I did not understand the pit-striding thing in the least.I am not sure I like this striding thing at all.It seems complicated.I spent to much time wondering about it that I lost the story-line and soon be came frustrated with it.  There seems to be nine books involved in this series and I will give one or two a try and see how the story progresses.Now having said all that, the book was enjoyable and it only cost .99 cents which makes it a whole lot better.For a buck, take the chance!!!!!
