A guy with a brain
on drugs for sure,
with that fried egg plate of words.

This truly is a bizarre little book.
I thought the cover looked interesting and was curious to see what it would be like. This book had an interesting idea but the carry through is not great. It is both very child like in its language and yet has some very adult concepts and undercurrents that make it either unappealing or inappropriate, depending on your age.
It manages to make itself not appealing to either, in the end. A strange book indeed, though not as the author intended.
The author himself is a bit childish though an adult, so perhaps that's why. Don't believe me? Read his own attempt to bump up his star rating on Amazon and make a jerk of himself in the review:

This lucky little book has become part of nimrodiel's Manga & Graphic novel bookbox! :)
As usual, I'm trying to put a variety of types in here, so there's lots of stuff that people haven't seen before. This one qualifies I think!
Hope it finds a new reader! ;)

This came back in my manga & graphic novel book box.
This was an oddly sweet story. I agree with HI77 that the idea was interesting but the book was not as good as it could be.
