This was a fun book to read—at least the first chapter or so that I DID read—after that, I pretty much flipped through the book looking at the illustrations and the author's instructions. The drawings (which I didn't think were very good) and typography are very seventies and the author tries so hard to have a clever voice but it falls a little flat. That said, some of the spaces that hidey holes can be secreted into is sometimes kinda genius. It is making me look at spaces in a different way, and that's a good thing.
