Didn’t Like It Rated 2 stars “Very interesting concept, but sadly not very well executed. Conescu goes too much into the characters surrounding Daniel, but never manages to establish an emotional connection with them. You're left unmoved by even the most tragic youth. I was hoping for something more metafictional.” see full review » see other reviews »

  “This is a clever, well-constructed metafiction of a young man who is aware that he is "being written" into a novel. He is also aware that the bigger parts in the story are going to sexier and more troubled characters. The wannabe protagonist tries to remake himself to get more attention from the unseen author but has to keep upping the ante to stay in the book.
  
  The story is dark, but nicely lightened with humor. It's swiftly paced and a relatively quick read but nonetheless raises some interesting existential questions. If you’ve ever imagined yourself as a character in a book, you’ll likely have some sympathy for the protagonist. But is he imagining this? Charming and highly recommended!”
