One of the few books I have finished only to have the right to write a review of it. The premise was interesting--a fantasy world populated by the great characters of fiction and legend. But the execution was terrible. I cared not a wit about the protagonist or most of his compatriots. And the famous fictional characters appear and disappear so quickly and randomly that one can't really get interested in most of their involvement either. I say involvement because that's the most that it is. Few of them are important to the rather dull story, most are merely present. Which brings me to my greatest criticism. This book seemed to me primarily an opportunity for the author to show off his wide ranging knowledge of works of literature and myth. The story seemed contrived to enable cameo appearances by various characters, most of whom added nothing to the narrative.
