5.0

This is perhaps the greatest book written of all time. Not only does the plot keep you hooked, the astounding language and character of each chapter is groundbreaking. I dare even say that Josh is the best author of this century, and to learn about his life through his own words, and definitely not Ollie’s, feels like a gift from the gods. My neck brace almost shattered from how shockingly amazing this book is and I admit I now have a strong desire to go on a road trip across the U-Stat and have a carrot cake smashed in my face. And oh how Legamusaurus Rex grew on me as a character! I hated him in the beginning, and I just wanted Muncho to live in peace with Josh and Ollie forever. BUT! That organic dinosaur definitely softens up towards the end of the book and I can see myself in him. What a profoundly important character. I love how Rex is bitter about no one noticing that he first suggested the name “Jolly” in chapter 17! It is a travesty! REX DESERVES BETTER!

Anyway, this book is a literary masterpiece. I bought the digital version but now I need the paperback in my bookcase.
