I found Dorko the Magnificent to be a quirky book. It is easy to read, and it succeeds at humor, even though it tries a little harder than it needs to. All in all, it was fairly entertaining and easily predictable.
Robbie Darko is one of those boy characters who has obviously written from a woman's point of view. In an attempt to sweep an emotional ending under the rug, Author Andrea Beaty quickly parsed over the drama that should have been an important part of the story. I understood the reasoning behind that, but it keeps the reader from understanding the emotions that would have naturally emerged.
