Title: Maybe the worst book I have ever read.
Product review: I can find nothing of value in this book except perhaps the nice drawings. Since this review is to be less than 1000 words, I cannot hope to list all that I found lacking in the book. I will list a couple of problems, however. First, the book is a poor imitation of the magic realisim genre typified by Garcia Marquez. Second, the characters are as flat as central Illinois. Third, the book contradicts itself in several places (when the author is trying to be serious). Fourth, there is no plot, just a sequence of events. Fifth, the philosophical attempts are poorly done, relying on catch phrases and nice sounding words rather than on substance. Sixth, it shares much with the fairy tales of youth in that nothing bad can ever happen to the characters without some solution dropping out of thin air. I would not recommend this book to anyone. Well, maybe to potential authors to see how not to write a book.
