I don’t even like Hemingway, but if you’re gonna fire shots at Hemingway, your own writing had better be a lot more clever than this. That’s my 2/3rds takeaway in nutshell. This book is fun but continues to demonstrate that it thinks it’s more clever and more profound than it is. It’ll probably still get 3 stars for the fun, but my patience with the author’s ego is wearing thin.

The theme this summer seems to be “books that start off fun and weird but never quite escape the gravitational pull of their own self-referential quirk.” It could be building to something meaningful, or I might just keep meeting goofy characters and talking animals. At least it’s fun.
