I liked this okay. I know a lot of people LOVE this, but I think there's something about reading a work at the right time/place and this fun flight of fancy was just not what I should've been reading. I was not in the mood for whimsy while dealing with a blizzard-caused four-day power outage that displaced my family for a time, a sick two-year-old, and then a sick me. I started this audiobook before any of this, and it made me smile a bit. It got a little grating, though (like, I just haven't been in the mindset for the last year and a half to hear about how a Silicon Valley guy made his billions based on his amazing, best-on-the-market animatronic boobs). I imagine that many people will love and enjoy this novel, but I'm not one of them... it's a little too precious and dude-y for my tastes. But like I said, my brain environment was a little on-edge while reading.

Ah, should also mention that I was reading the amazing Sing, Unburied, Sing at the same time and that may have twinged my feelings for this book, too. Sorry, Clay.

ETA: the audiobook narrator is wonderful, though! If you like whimsy books, this guy does a great job. (I imagine if people grew up loving Harry Potter or something they would thoroughly enjoy this book? I would think!)
