2.5This was incredibly bizarre. Yet oddly enthralling in that same sense. I wish I could've marked it up more for being so imaginative but there were so many things I felt were iffy about this book.Problems:•The unnatural dialogue•The writing wasn’t bad, just not to my style. The MC’s “voice” was ju...
Definitely unconventional. I'm not even sure why or how I ended up reading the entire thing. I guess regardless of the rather...unconventionality of this book, the writing was pretty good and rather engaging. It also had the advantage of preying on my morbid curiosity, I suppose...
This book did what I thought was the impossible--made spiders adorable. For that alone it earns a star. Vernon is smart, sweet, and absolutely loveable.

Vernon want to know you!HEYYYYYYYY stop screaming!!! Come on... it's only a spider! A huge 13.12 foot spider but come on... give the guy a change!Now seriously, why it's such an amazing sci-fi book?First of all I loved the speed of story teller. Only Drake, a human lawyer, will be the narrator, so t...
Excellent, just flipping excellent. Man, I want a Vernon!
