The
statutory rape
was unexpected. I was hoping the tone of the book would condemn it more. Ruined the book for me.

I def think that I should’ve read this in a shorter time span, but prose was beautiful and it was funny. Overall good read, just lost me because I took so long to finish.

At about page 80 of the edition I have, it starts waffling about a goose in search of a princess without any real explanation as to why, I was struggling through it already as it was a short book but this tipped me to give up on it.
