I was given this book during my travels in Europe. The title scared me off quite a bit. But boredom on trains drove me to reading it. Am I ever glad I did. It was hilarious! I couldn't put it down. When I was finished I read it again. This book is written for everyone. Easy to read funny ,and endearing. You find yourself rooting for your favorite of Melodys many suitors, and booing the ones you dislike. It is just an all around fun book !

After reading this novel you would wish to encounter someone like Melody Paradise. Superb in every way, I couldn't put the damn thing down and there is nothing better than a happy ending. I went to see one of Martin's readings and he was better up close and personal. For ages after I couldn't get the book out of my mind...I hope there is another Millar book on it's way IMP Fiction!

Martin draws you into Melody's world with his sarcastic wit and laid-back way of weaving a tale. No other writer could blend ancient Greek mythology, unicorns, modern hippies, punk rockers, and a circus all into one hilarious yet touching tale. The story is centered around the beautiful new-age hippie chick Melody Paradise and her obsession with the Wishing Tree. More than one time I was startled from Melody's world by loud laughter, only to realize I was alone and the laughter was coming from me. If you have never read Martin Millar, this is a wonderful book to get you hooked.

There is a bit of Melody Paradise in all of us. She shows you how to keep positive and overcome the impossible, even in the muddiest of circumstances. This is an excellent story of mystical travellers who gather from all ends of the earth. The way Martin Millar jumps backwards and forwards in time kept me riveted right up to the last line. Absolutely loved it!
