Description
Greetings, Puny Humans:
In your hands, you are holding a tome of staggeringly evil genius. It is not for the faint of heart or for the whining masses. It is for those willing to serve as my devoted minions while I plan my greatest feat yet: surviving life as a human boy and returning to my rightful place as the ruler of the Dark Lands. Before I can exact my revenge, I must infiltrate this world and learn its ways.
How, you might ask, is it possible that I, the Dark Lord, the Master of the Legions of Dread and Sorcerer Supreme, could be reduced to human form? And how is it possible that the Lord of darkness could be forced to attend school and befriend such pitiful life forms?
Only by reading my tale will you learn the truth behind the cataclysmic defeat that left me stranded on this accursed planet, Earth. But make no mistake, revenge will be mine... as soon as I finish my homework. Mwah, hah, ha!
Yours insincerely,
Dirk Lloyd

I liked the premise of this book. I thought the author did a really admirable job of keeping the voice of Dirk Lloyd consistent.
I felt like the plot was thin and it was surprisingly slow moving. I expected things to take off after the second or third chapter but it wasn't until the last 1/3 of the
I liked it but not enough to read the sequel.

This was a really good book. I recommend it for 5th to 7th graders. It has a really great cliff hanger!

A simple and very funny read. :)

This is a very funny book. It's also very entertaining to the people who are into things like wizards and dragons. 4Q4P The cover art is okay and I'd recommend this to middle and high school adults. I chose to read this book because I thought that the title sounded really good. DontaeH

Fun book that puts the mind of a Sauron-like character into a young English boy. Pretty much consistently enjoyable, although it does get close to "cheating" near the end, but well worth the read.
