Title: Very Long, Very Good
Review: The size of this book is overwhelming when you first look at it as a physical copy. Four page footnotes, a few black and white illustrations, small font, and an incredible number of pages. However, I gave this book five stars for a reason. If you're looking for a light read, it might not be what you need, but light-hearted is a better word. This is a fantasy novel of a different kind. It is not for children, but it is not too stale for any age as long as they can sit down to read it. The characters are amusing and likable (or easy to dislike, if that is what they are intended for), and the humor is subtle, ironic and witty. I don't bring myself to read on a non-stop basis, and I certainly don't read books of this volume, but I was intrigued in the first chapters, so I pressed on. It was worth it. The first few chapters are a bit slow, I suppose, but the writing style carries you through.Also, I suggest you read the footnotes. Everything is better if you read the footnotes.
