- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An assortment of odd characters find themselves in a huge, 144-room besieged castle in an alternate universe, trying to figure out the confusing rules. Lots of twists and turns on the road to a solution. Very entertaining story with an appealing cast of characters..
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very, very funny!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5There is a large amount of books that I've read from this period that seem to be very "we did this, and then did this" in third person form - its a bit annoying because there doesn't seem much in the way of character building - the characters in this book are flat, a bit boring, and too accepting of their fate, for example, Gene just accepting Snowy, a very hairy abominable snowman. Its a great concept, but lacking a bit on execution.
