Excellent on all counts!

This book has more information about fantasy fiction than I'd ever dreamed of encountering in one place. I was continually amazed by the insight shown in the reviews by the teenagers, and delighted by their descriptive comments. This book is a must-own for anyone who enjoys reading fantasy fiction- young adult or not.
