Like the toon review. Like the book, too. Lehman’s always doing something interesting.
What a unique and clever way to review a book unlike my review of the same title at http://librariansquest.blogspot.com/2011/03/filled-with-treasure.html
which is much more traditional. You are indeed one of a kind. Just the kind we need!
