Before bed audio reread! 

This is an imaginative and yet rather odd book of fantasy. I enjoyed the stories of adventure to a point. I think all three sections were written very similarly other than changing the size of the people he lived with. So by the time I got to the horse story I was losing interest. I didn't bother to try and figure out the hidden meaning of the author's commentary on British politics. I will still recommend this book for readers ten years old and older and it might be better as a read aloud for helpful adult guidance.

This is a fun book! I’m surprised it took me so long to read!

It took me months to finish this book. I found some paragraphs interesting but I mostly found the writing and story boring and quite creepy at times.
