Points for good setting?

Just like on the podcast, their humor is this unique blend of snarky-highbrow and silly-low brow. I read this very slowly, doing one chapter or section before reading whatever novel I was currently on. I’m not a huge non-fiction reader but the light and silly tone made it feel doable after a long day, and I found it really interesting. If you follow the podcast a lot of this might be familiar information but definitely still fun.

ETA: I purchased my copy several years after the initial publication, which I think meant it also underwent another round of editing and didn’t suffer from the original missing pages publication problem. So if you read those reviews, I would suggest looking for a later published copy.

Both kids (7 & 10) give it 5/5! Another read aloud bedtime book that works for both kids.

Forgot to log that I finished this one. I can’t stop thinking about it, seriously. This art is just beautiful. The story is creative and I just want more. I’ve now lent it out and it’s definitely the favorite of those I’ve given it to too!
