Query: THE MERLIN CONSPIRACY by Diana Wynne Jones

I have heard from my sources that novels by Diana Wynne Jones are remarkably enjoyable, though very whimsical. When I read The Merlin Conspiracy, I was expecting a lot more than I got. The book, to me, was extremely boring and monotonous. It was very hard to finish, and I had to skip many pages at a time in order to complete it. In my opinion, this book was not an example of an exeptional science-fiction/fantasy book. The Merlin Conspiracy is not a book that I would reccomend to sci-fi/fantasy fans who are expecting a lot from reading this. I would, although, reccomend the Merlin books by T.A. Barron and the Deltora books by Emily Rodda. The Merlin Conspiracy by Diana Wynne Jones gets a simple two stars from me.
