5.0

I wasn’t sure whether or not to give this book a 5 star review, but what the hell, I’m feeling generous. 5 stars becomes meaningless if you never award it, anyway (I realise my musings on what star rating to give each book are probably not that interesting to read, but hopefully I’ll find it easier to decide what rating to give as I become more experienced at this blogging lark). So, yes. This book has one of the best titles I’ve come across – I love long titles, titles with punctuation and titles that I feel are relevant to my life/interests, and this one ticked all the boxes (that said, when I was younger I often thought being more normal would make me happier, rather than it being a straight choice between the two. Nowadays I embrace the weirdness, and so the title is more than reasonably relevant to me).
