Initial Response
Aww, this was so cute and fun!
High Lights
- ALL THE WORD PLAY. Seriously, that was like my favorite part of the whole book. It's just SO. COOL. :D
- The illustrations are really neat too. Artsy and fun.
- Dill is probably my favorite character of the book. He's hilarious and clever and also a genius.
- I thought it was really cool that Penelope wanted to be a writer. And so I really was rooting her on for just that reason.
Low Lights
- It is a middle grade book, but I didn't know that until I started reading it. (I picked it up at a local bookstore with no idea as to what it was about.) And I totally have nothing against middle grade books. I love them! I've just found I don't get as emotionally invested as I do in YA books. *shrug*
- Yeah...that was a big factor for me. The writing, even though it's witty and clever, is definitely written for a younger target group. So...yeah.
- Also, I kinda low-key hate Penelope's parents. Just a smidgen.
Conclusion
This was a fun and whimsical read! Though I didn't enjoy at much as I anticipated, I still really liked it. And it was a very quick read too. A fun, fluffy story.
