It was just so clever and fun, from the first page to the last. I need to find some more stuff by this author!

And it succeeded. I’m glad you liked it too!

I also didn’t mind the simplistic characters because I was having so much fun with the wordplay. This book made me laugh all the way though.

Yeah, standard words. I thought of a really good one yesterday, but I didn’t write it down and now I’ve forgotten. Can’t wait to hear what she thinks of the book though!

I think your friend will love the book too. Standard words, eh?
