hmmmm....okay, well...it was just..... weird. I liked it fine, but it was just...odd.

I really can't imagine this being for young readers either, which is who it is supposedly geard for. Uh..not so much. At least not in our house. Oh well. Overall, it was interesting and I don't regret reading it. It's just not a "favorite".
