Not sure how I feel about this story. It kept my interest, it was like nothing I have ever read before, and I did laugh, but it just was not my favorite story. Marc, Michael, and Eleazar go to Camp Arcanum to build a Renaissance Faire. While there they learn that the town of Arcanum Ohio is inhabited by witches, warlocks, and other things that go bump in the night. Brenwyn, the leader of the local coven falls in love with Marc almost instantly as does Marc with her. This is one of my issues with the story. No, I am not a romantic and love this quick in a story tends to turn me off. Then they start using terms like my beloved. Witch lingo? Perhaps, but I found it a bit awkward. Marc fights zombie squirrels and invisible dragons, of course! All-in-all I give this book a 3.5 star and will round to a 4 because it did make me laugh and Marc did have an impressively large vocabulary. (wink, wink)

Unfortunately, I did not like this book. It started off strong, but then it seemed to try too hard. It wasn't as funny as I thought it was going to be.

In addition, the love story just did not connect with me. It happened so fast. There was no natural progression to it all and, I found that I didn't really care about the couple.

I did think the book was well-written, but I don't think I'll be picking up the sequel. :(

A absurdly hysterical and utterly absorbing tale that manages to summon all the utter joys of reading.
