I had a true love/hate experience reading this book. Full disclosure, I have not read the other books in this series, and I probably won't. I read this for a book club with the understanding that the book could stand alone, and I suppose it did. There were numerous times I almost quit. The first o...
The moment I opened this book (and yes I know I say this a lot) I knew that I would love this book from the first page. My dear readers, did you, like me, never want this book to end? I wanted it to be longer. I savored it, took my time...but at the same time, I was reading pages whenever I had the...
From the blurb: Walter Moers transports us to a magical world where reading is still a genuine adventure, where books can not only entertain people but also drive them insane or kill them.

Este libro es fantástico y sumamente divertido. Me sentí como en uno de esos juegos mecánicos donde hay un montón de cosas brillantes, alegres y ridículas alrededor tuyo todo el camino, pero esta vez con alusiones literarias, muchas aventuras e ilustraciones simpáticas. Es over the top y absurdo, ...
Review originally posted here.I've been trying to write a review of this book since I finished it almost a month ago, but haven't been able to find the words. Instead of a review, you're going to get a series of thoughts. I can't guarantee I'll make sense, but I hope at the end at least one of you...
