A Whole Nother Story

"As told by (the one and only) Dr. Cuthbert Soup
April's copy, paperback, 264 pages
genre: YA humor, adventure, mystery

Liked: some of the clever wordplay (like Jough Psmythe for "Joe Smith"), the nuttiness of some of the characters

Disliked: the "talking directly to the audience" writing style (though April must LOVE this; this is the second book she's recommended in this style), the stupidity of the villains, the ridiculousness of Mr. Cheeseman's plan to get the time travel machine working and to get his wife back, etc.

I just didn't care for this and have no desire to read the second book.
