This book definitely had the potential to be a 5 star read but was missing a few things for me. 

It's a funny and quirky take on a adventurous story and the characters are hilarious. I loved the way things played out in the story the main thing that this book lacked was detail and continuation. It's a fast paced read and some of the storyline could have used a bit of slowing down but overall it was a stellar work. 

I'm hoping book 2 improves upon these key points. I saw a few reviews complain about the language, it threw me off a little but it wasn't over the top like others made it seem in their reviews. I think this book caters to a specific generation more so than overall readers. 

For me being a reader who can see the stories in my mind the missing details at key parts made some scenes hard to imagine, but not impossible... I think less is more when it comes to idioms, colloquiums, and euphemisms. In this story I think if it had the extra fluff (details) it may not have seemed so blatant to some readers as well. 

I do look forward to the rest of the series and the growth of this author!
