This was a doozy of a book. So unexpected and weird! But it was a fun little adventure. It’s short and fast paced. But the characters and story don’t suffer for it. I felt a connection with the characters, as varied as they are. The writing and descriptions are so lush I could easily picture everything, even the hippos.
