the way that THIS was the book that pulled me out of a three month reading slump..... goes without saying that this is seriously one of the greatest pieces of middle-grade fiction to ever be written. i was so captivated and honestly am surprised that me in 4th grade or whatever age i was could even stomach it because it's so dark and disturbing but it's seriously perfect. also love the very subtle gay grandfather thing that was happening there, good on ya pseudonymous bosch
DNF. Boring, a bit confusing, simply couldn’t get into it despite my many attempts
i really enjoyed this book, and i love the mysterious narrator and his worries..also chocolate is a temptation no one can resist, so he's justified. max-ernest is such a vibe, and cass is the kind of person you'd want to be around in an emergency. also the note at the end was signed P.B. which is also the initials of the author.. it's a pretty cool thing. i am also jealous of cass's backpack (chapter zero, which, btw, is a funny concept) which can turn into a tent, a parachute, and a life vest. oh boy..if only Nike sold that lmao~ if you liked books like lemony snicket, nancy drew or the lemoncello series, this is another one to add to your never-ending TBR.
I fully read this book as a freshman in high school as a pick me up type of novel since I needed a bit of joy and happiness. I can say that the narrative and the voice of the narrator is so strong that I enjoyed every minute of it. While childish, it gave me quite a bit of food for thought and laughter along the way. I loved the way that this book was written in a manner that I had never experienced before with names and places being completely hidden from the reader. Instead a quirky narrator passes the reader small quips of information that make the storyline all the more fun.
This book is incredibly fun. I adored the way it was written, I love the story-line and the characters. I highly recommend it, especially if you want a lighthearted but still thrilling book.
