Being the first in a series, the story is a little heavy on exposition, but it does do a good job of making the information enjoyable and creating a believable dream world as well as setting the stage for volumes to come.

(Not sure some parents would want their kids reading it, as it's dark and twisted, like "Pearls Before Swine.") But it's RIDICULOUSLY funny!. I can't say enough positive things about this book. I can't say enough positive things about this book. After prying the iPad from our 8 year old's hands, we handed him the book.

Thank you! thank you! thank you!!!
