Very enjoyable book, but sorta repetitive. Especially the plot. Also, too much violence for me.

4.0

I enjoyed the dark humor and surprisingly serious topics in this middle grade classic, which include the absurdity of our punitive "justice" system, racism, illiteracy and houselessness.

The novel is pretty short and wraps up very quickly, leaving the reader to "fill in the holes" at the end. With a slightly higher page count some of the themes could have been explored a little more.
