Otto: A Palindrama by Jon Agee
3.0
adventurous lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

 Very cute and unique! The whole story is told entirely in palindromes (spelled backward or forward the words will be the same), which makes the dialogue sound unnatural. But its creativity cancels that out. You can imagine the amount of time it took to find all these palindromes and create a story thread from the seemingly random words. 

Overall, a fairly quick read with a fun gimmick.
