I really enjoyed this read - I powered through in a day, and it was a day well-spent! I enjoyed Lucky and his friends, though I would have loved to understand how old Lucky was - it was oddly confusing not to know.
While I wouldn't say there was a much of a "twist" in the story, the ending was unexpected. I appreciated the ending, though I still have slightly mixed feelings.
I also have mixed feelings about the illustrations. While I believe the structure of the text on the pages featuring illustrations was well done, I didn't find the illustrations to add anything - if the pages were otherwise blank, but featured the same test structure, the message would have been just as powerful, in my opinion.
There was a lot I didn't understand, some of which I found annoying, and really was the reason this wasn't 5 stars for me. I think there could have been a big benefit from a solid epilogue or SOMETHING to share a little more on where people went from the ending, but the reader has no such luck.
I recommend this book to Sci-fi fans, and even fantasy - there was a heavy dose of fantasy in this book, and it molded together well.
