A Magical Series By Jazan Wild

DANDY (The Novel) In a world of glitz and glamour, mansions and limousines, a boy is born into the lap of luxury. After a trip with his father to the FREAK SHOW where Esmeralda, the Fortune Teller foresees the lad has a great journey ahead of him - a Dandy one - he arrives home only to discover that in a mere tick of the clock, everything has been taken away.

Young Dandy finds himself cast out from the lavish world he’s known, and thrust into a harsh new reality as a resident of a rundown corrupt orphanage.

All alone, except for the rats that scurry amongst the shadows, Dandy sits at his bedroom window, when suddenly he is visited by a melody that sweeps him out into the cold night air. Racing down the alleyways, the young boy discovers a magical nightclub, which only he has a VIP ticket to.

That is until now. You are all invited into this wonder filled extravaganza! Welcome, One and All... to a crazy world, where... If You Can Dream It, You Can Be It!

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.
