Review of 'Ella Minnow Pea' on 'Goodreads'

I write this on Nollop on October 13. They say that it is illegal to use letters D, F, J, K, Q, Z. Thus, this is my review about this marvellous thing. It's brilliant. I turn through it in a single one-more-than-three hour sitting while anticipating my aeroplane leaving. It gets more yet more inventive all the way through. It has a clever twist, a clever title. It is especially marvellous because writers have to use variable expressions, as am I, to postulate amongst themselves about what is going on. There is a small portion three-sixths through where I perceive it is a literary excercise, but that might have been the sleep starting: but it cleverly moves up a gear anyway. Brilliant. (Oh, and writing that was very difficult indeed!!)
