A review by librarylandlisa
The Portable Veblen by Elizabeth Mckenzie

5.0

Oh my stars... this book. I started this book after reading many YA novels and while this is not a dry book by any means, I felt I was "adulting" too hard for the first two chapters. I was wrong. This book is hilarious and really fun and very unexpected full of so much craziness and squirrels and Veblen. I have cast this book to be made into a movie in my mind and I love it so much.

For some reason this reminds me of a Woody Allen movie mixed with an episode of Modern Family or Arrested Development, and a Disney film. So awkward and strange and great at the same time. And squirrels, did I mention squirrels yet? I really enjoyed this odd little nugget of literature a lot more than I ever thought I would.

Squirrels.
