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.

This was a silly goofy fun time.
( or as Jonny would say: 4 out of 5 stars highly recommend)

This mix of sci-fi, fantasy, humor, and general awesomeness is exactly the kind of content I'm looking for. With the title I was expecting a little more humor than there was, but that is a minor nitpick for what really delivered a great ride.
A simple, yet incredibly fun story in a genre and style that Sanderson doesn’t often write in. Many of the asides in the book made me truly laugh out loud, especially for the boys about the bananas (trust me, the book is worth reading for these jokes alone)
This book is definitely worth a read for anyone, especially as it’s not connected to the Cosmere. All in all I really enjoyed it, as evidenced by the fact that I finished the novel in an entire day and chose to stay up reading it and get 5 1/2 hours of sleep tonight.

4 stars.
The more I read, the more I liked this! It was a very fun romp in the beginning and by the end I found myself connected to the characters a lot more than I realized. Reading from the gorgeous premium edition of the book for the first half was probably part of it as well as all the little details added up to a really immersive experience.
I can see why this isn't everyone's favorite, but I had a really good time with it!
