I enjoyed it for the fact that it was so different from any other book I've read. I got about 3/4 of the way through and realised I still had no idea what was going on, but this made me want to read on. An easy, fun read.
an unbelievably amazing book. I could not put this book down. It was funny at times, and left me wanting more.
