This is my honest unbiased review that I am voluntarily leaving of my own free will.
Another wonderful book in this series of Poached Parody's by P.C. Hatter. If Disney is ever looking for characters to add to their Zootopia franchise they can do no worse then asking to use Lucius Anoraq or Kaiser Wrench. Give these books a read they ate highly entertaining and make for a good read without getting bogged down in minutiae.
