review 1: This was a great Pinkwater romp through his always engaging twisted mind. It seemed a little sloppy in spots though - it was never shown why Iggy ws BFFs with Chase, the ghost bunny rabbit, I never believed that the main character was female, and some tertiary characters kept being introduced as though they were new to the story, I also got tired of the reference to something big that happened in the prequel to this book, which was never explained, just referenced to death. My favorite thing about the book was the downtown cafeteria filled with unlikely waterfalls and nickel meals. A good read if you like Pinkwater and aren't too picky.
review 2: This is a fine second installment of the series. I'm not sure I love the idea that Neddie is no longer the first per... moreson narrator, but that's no big deal. And while the Pinkwater wacky world generator is going full tilt, it seems very much like an Alice in Wonderland tale. This surely would make a nice movie one day, with all sorts of weird creatures and giant talking heads. I loved the imagery.Highly recommended as good bedtime reading with kids. less
