The book bevomes more serious, less humoro6s in its second half. The characters are very engaging, so I was eager to follow their journey wherever it led. It is a wonderful book.

This book is delightful and fascinating. I will be reading many books by Hoban based on my experience with this one. His books for adults seem bizarre, but that is okay by me if his writing is as good as it is in this book. Turtle Diary is realistic in plot and dialogue (so far) but the interior lives of the two main characters are extraordinary.
