Could not finish this book, I put it down midway through Chapter 4. It was overly repetitive and the protagonist was unbearably simple.

Most books draw you in with the first sentence, but I should have stopped after reading this: “A small lizard perched on a brown stone.” Small? Brown? Were these the best adjectives available?

Also, A Spell for Chameleon is sexist. Female characters are generally depicted (~50%) as stupid, but always introduced based on how sexy they are. Completely unnecessary.

I hope the protagonist finds himself in the rest of the book, but I can't stick around to find out.

I got to Page 85 before calling it quits.
