review 1: If I might add yet another subheading to the title of this most unusual book, it would be “or Whimsical Wit and Lyrical Nonsense,” because those happen to be the two most notable assets of this particular scrap of literature. The story is sort of a whodunit with very stylized ch...

review 1: I think Tom Angleberger is making the same error that George Lucas once did... if you think back, and if you are really, really honest..... Would you think that Phantom menace was a good movie? Seriously... try to think about as an independent unit, without consider the first mov...

review 1: I have to admit, I am a little confused about whether or not this book is fiction. It's kind of a "How-to" book, but it contains fictional characters, which is confusing. I loved the crafts in the book like a lip balm rocket, and Harvey's Dark Paper. It's just so fun and brings o...
