Imagine an acid trip so bad that even Sid & Marty Krofft wouldn't be able to make a go of it and you get a little of the disaster that is this book. I was expecting "Whiter Shade of Pale" to start playing at any minute.

Admittedly the 2nd half was much better than the 1st but this was a train wreck.
Characters - even if I was drunk I wouldn't find these characters amusing or enjoyable.
Plot - still waiting to find one.
Writing - his writing has slowly devolved as each Oz book unfolds.

I would say that only the most die hard Oz fans would like this one but I think if they were honest they would even admit that this is a low point in the series.
