Alex and the Ironic Gentleman by Adrienne Kress

4.0

Why is this book amazing? Is it because it's hilarious and well written, like a Canadian Lemony Snicket? (Is Lemony Snicket Canadian?) Is it because it's full of awesome adventures? Is it because it has an kick-ass female protagonist but doesn't get all preachy about it? Is it because it's actually self-contained rather than leading to sequel after sequel, which eventually degrade in quality after the third or so book? (I'm looking at you, Rowling.) Is it because there's a guy named after one of my favorite spices? I don't know, but I wish this book had been around when I was 10!
