Delightful <3 Illustrates, with tongue-in-cheek self-awareness, the inherent absurdity of totalitarian rule.

I really loved this. The premise was interesting and the way the story was written through letters was captivating. The plot was well paced and I found the characters endearing. I thought the letters near the end were hard to understand, and I wished there was a bit more communication between the Minnow Pea family members, but overall I would highly recommend this.
