tbarger 's review for:

Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn

4.0

---

I expected this book to be light hearted and slightly overly "clever." I was wrong. Instead it is a completely engaging, subversive story about the power of language and the hold the veneration to the past has on us. It's an easy read - I finished it in one day - but an enjoyable love letter to language and to human perseverance.
