I will argue about 'Silberlock' being a terrific book. Sure, it was
fun seeing all those different people from famous stories, mythology,
etc., but I happen to like protagonists with a little more guts,
backbone, personality, etc. The "hero" was thrown from situation to
situation, and never managed to solve things on his own - he had to be
rescued! He didn't grow, or change, he was just a helpless 'mansel in
distress.' Bah! What a boring, fustrating protagonist. I kept wanting
him to DO something.
