Review: Ate it alive. I couldn't help it.

Right from the get-go I was a little skeptical. I had just seen that the book was short, so I held myself back. Ten pages in? Naah, must have been the TV talking (or something) - because there's no way I was going to hold back when it was being interesting. Thirty pages in? I was hooked. Line and sinker. I read and read, thinking and not being able to help comparing it to "The Lightning Thief", but with a much more mature nature. Humor, innuendo, 'slice of life', magic, it was all here, and not in "Rated T/PG" form. It felt much like how a godsend might feel, I imagined. Doesn't matter! Read the book, loved it to death, and was ecstatic to find a second one, but dreading the thought of it being short as well.. again, doesn't matter. Great read, for something that came about accidentally!I really did eat it. Reading wasn't enough.
