Pseudonymous Bosch's Book 1

The author's name stuck more to my mind than the book title this time. That is seldom the case, I'd say.
I am a 32-year old mom who is simply checking out a book my son is currently reading but I did finish and enjoyed it nonetheless.

I've just finished reading the first book from the series today after almost three days of struggling to find time to simply chill out and read it. I'd rate it at 7 out of 10, with 10 around something for books like Tolkien's "The Hobbit." Not that it is comparable to that though. It's an all together a different level as for the story's plot itself.

Before I go off tangent,  the story is just enough for an 11-year old but it's the storytelling that I find quite refreshing. The titles of the books, as well as the author's name, are quite intriguing for me that I had to find out what these books are like. The first pages already made me smile. It reminded me of the word-play attack from the Tollbooth book which I had tried to read before but never finished. The humor reminded me of Louis Sachar's and David Sedaris' books. It's just something fun to read coz it made me smile on the word-play humor.

The book chapters, even the appendix, were developed in a somewhat funny way. The main story itself is almost as lame as Louis Sachar's (don't get me wrong here though I did like those books) but it's entertaining enough for an adult like me. Unfortunately, it isn't much for my hubby :D
