This was so cute and clever and funny! It seems very lighthearted and nonsensical upon first glance, but there's actually some pretty deep stuff here about totalitarianism and politics gone mad and quiet resistance. The conceit here is obviously the fact that the author had to find ways to tell the story even as more and more letters of the alphabet were taken out of circulation, and I thought this played out in a fun and intelligent way. I liked it!

Very clever. I found myself reading the last part of the book out loud so that I could understand what they were writing.
