This was adorable. Reminded me of the Mysterious Benedict Society books, which I adore.

Not my favorite of his, but interesting. I always feel like I learn so much.

what a bunch of assholes.

I loved it the way I love Bret Easton Ellis books, in that they're different from anything else I've ever read. I started it and found it cheesy. I felt like the author was trying too hard. While the PowerPoint chapter was different and interesting and original, it felt a little precious. But in the end, I loved learning about all the different characters in different ways, and I enjoyed the jumps in time.
