I had a lot of fun reading this book. The premise is so creative! Compared to many of Sanderson's other books, it wasn't very deep or "plot twisty." But it was still a very fun, easy read. Character development was good , and some important messages about self-worth and stopping bad momentum.
The art was spectacular. I enjoyed the inserts from the Frugal Wizard guidebook. Some of the humor was a miss for me, but it was enjoyable overall.
Also, I love stupid puns, so "carp diem" was right up my alley.

Such a great concept, very poorly executed. Reads like a story thrown together last minute with too many unnecessary moving parts

I have to write SOMETHING. My mind is so much moosh, like there is nothing there, but I finished this book DAYS ago. So something is what I shall write.
I liked this book. A lot. It was fun, like really fun. A common daydream of mine is time travel and how I would interact with the people and the things I know and the technology I had. This book easily fed all that.
And he did a good job having bits and pieces come back, showing who he really was before he remembered how pathetic he was.
I was so mad at his friend, and agreed with what’s his name, the village leader guy, that he sure didn’t act like his friend. And then when he found his girlfriend again and that they had been cheating on him, yeah I wanted him to wash his hands of his old life too.
I did think the romance went a tad too fast. I know it had to happen in a short book, but the pacing was off. Still, it made me happy that they ended up together. The last part where they were doing their puppet show made me smile, like he was getting his happy ending.
Over all good book, would recommend it to people. A solid four stars.

Another wonderful book by Brandon Sanderson! This is only the second of his that I’ve read, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. There was something in the beginning that kept me from being totally hooked on it, but I’m not sure what exactly. As the story picked up, though, I became very immersed in the mystery and the motivations. The illustrations were beautiful and humorous, and the inserts from the actual handbook were so creative and hilarious.
