A quick, easy read, though I'm not sure I'm the target audience. I found the tonal shifts jarring, Elsie's narration frequently irritating, and the Dad jokes absolutely relentless. That being said, I've a feeling kids would like it.

I picked it up because I remember an episode Duchovny wrote for The X-Files - "The Unnatural" - which was wonderful in nearly every respect. This is a different style and genre, but it in no way matches up.
