Mal Peet

Forget Faust, this is better: a modern tragi-comic tale of a writer for young people who risks his soul, sorry his 'eye-balls' and his 'seeds', in exchange for literary and commercial success.

It really didn't do it for me. It has a hint of Pratchettian style that doesn't come off very fluidly, but the plot itself is funny and well done. I laughed a few times in the beginning but by half way through it was sort of hard work.

Jessica Nottingham

This started out really promising, as a tongue in cheek poke at Fantasy writing. It devolved quickly into something mean and spiteful though, alas. I can't finish this.
