Picked this up randomly on a recent visit to the Seminary Co-op, and I've been feeling pretty blah and unfocused lately, so I treated myself to a morning of reading in bed. The joy of short novels!
This is a charming and winsome little book — a quick read whose sly humor and meta-fictional play keeps it from being an overly saccharine meditation on the nature of childhood. It's a light and playful read, one that could easily seem grating if you weren't in the right mood, but is perfectly pleasant if you are. You can easily see why it was a massive best-seller — it's just the right amount of good cheer and casual philosophy.
