I loved everything about this book.  The comedy was just right.  The book is fully illustrated.  It is not a graphic novel, but also not a standard novel, it is a fantastic mix of both.  One of the things I really like is that at the end of every other chapter the book tells the reader how many words they read and congratulates them.  There is also an indicator at the end of each chapter that shows the reader how far along in the book they are at that moment.  What a lovely way to speak to reluctant readers, or those struggling to move beyond learning to read books.  Everything about this was great.  The only thing to make it superior – full color every page.  I will be sure to read book 2 when it comes out.
