The Facttracker by Jason Carter Eaton

2.0

Lots of fun language play can't really make up for an over-the-top yet shallow plot and weak characterization. The just small enough little boy has only ever wanted his facts - those that tell him about himself and his family. Unfortunately, they rolled away, taking his parents with them, and now his only hope of recovering them, the resident Facttracker, has been imprisoned by his evil twin Ersatz who has successfully begun peddling lies to the gullible residents of Trakkerfax. Yes, it's all very nonsensical, and would be more fun if I cared much for any of the characters, but they all are there and gone in a bit of a blur. The messages about truth and lies providing balance are intriguing, but superficial. Not highly recommended, but amusing enough as a distraction.
