Absolutely...magical. my favourite book so far this year.
Fun and clever with a brisk, energetic pace to balance out its (delicious) wonkishness, and just enough intrigue to turn the pages without becoming overwrought.
Not the most original of shaggy dog stories, but worth it for the epic poem set in Walmart.
It's clear the authors had a ball writing this. The humor is a constant through a ridiculously entertaining historical romp. I'll never get enough of this kind of fun.
