by John Hulme and Michael Wexler
275 pages, CMSW
What it reminded me of:
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and The Phantom Tollbooth
What I liked:
Some clever plays on words
What I didn't like:
The minutia, the plethora of characters, the jerkiness of the plot
What surprises me:
That it has been lauded so much by so many readers. Peggy Sharp made special note of it, it's had good reviews, and it sounded like a "must read" but I think this book is more for a niche reader of weird SciFi type stuff. Plus, the protagonist is 12. Not many 12 year olds are into the fairly sophisticated thinking this book espouses about the nature of reality.
