I liked this book more than I thought I would. At the end of summer term/beginning of fall I thought I would challenge myself to read 100 pages a day. I lasted about a month into the fall semester. I think reading 100 pages a day really kept me in this book though. Otherwise I might have put it down and not picked it up again.
I haven't read that many Christopher Moores and I've probably liked less than that. I loved Lamb, but the rest have kind of fallen flat. I enjoyed this one more than any of the others I've read. It's an interesting mix of history, fantasy, comedy, and mystery. I didn't see the ending coming in a good way.
