This book is lame. The story is weak, I want to slap the main character, and neither the writing nor the art is anywhere near good enough to make up for them.
But I read the whole thing, in one day.
Partly, this is a case of OCD-style literary masochism; I started this series, so I feel compelled to finish it.
But partly, it's the lure of fan fiction. I have had a crush on Jareth ever since I first saw the movie, lo these many years ago. This series is a way to spend some more time in a universe I adore, and with a character I might have given in to.
I must admit, the book is aimed at a much younger audience. It's entirely possible that it's a great read for a teen, especially a young teen. But I can't really say, because I can't really read it objectively - I'm too wrapped up in lusting after Jareth, trying to revisit how I felt when I first watched the movie. This is probably not very complementary to me, but there it is.

Please do not do this to yourself. Do not read this if you love the film.
Look, I even READ the first TWO VOLUMES for you so you don't have to!!!!!!

I was getting a slight romantic vibe between Moppet and Toby and now I'm a bit confused. I guess we will see how volume 3 plays out but now I'm upset I don't have the fourth!
Still not a ton of plot progression but again I'm digging some Jareth romantic backstory and the art.
