intoastory 's review for:

The Doldrums by Nicholas Gannon
5.0

I loved this because it's unique and the illustrations are magical. Nicholas Gannon is so talented and such a nice person. I'm seriously so in love with his illustrations. I want to hang them all over my house! (Check out his website, it's adorable!)

This is a funny, quirky book that's like a mash-up of Wes Anderson movies. And so, being the huge Wes Anderson fan that I am, I loved this.

I will say it's a bit slow and not a whole lot of adventure...yet. I feel that it was setting up for the rest of the series. So, I understand the reviews that say not a lot happens, but the other aspects of the book make it worth it to me.

Super cute. I've already preordered the next book!
