Despite the thin story, the rambling text and numerous spelling errors I was intrigued by the idea. The book fell flat for me, but Dandy still moved me as a character. I see what the author is trying to accomplish but sadly he didn't reach far enough.
It was mildly entertaining.

The version released in the US by Carnival Comics, is so much better than the Swedish version released by Norstedts; something got lost in translation from the graphic novels with that one. The English version expands the story in the graphic novel, but has a more Harry Potter type feel. And Jazan Wild actually wrote the US version. Not sure what went on with the Swedish version, but "inspired by Jazan Wild" is not Wild writing it, I assume.

I think I had a bit too high expectations of this book, since it's Andreas Carlsson who has written it. And I got quite disappointed to say at least.
In my opinion his choice of words were shallow and poor. It was a lot of repetitions of sentences.
Simply just not my taste in books.
