In the Lives of Puppets

This lived up to all of my expectations. I loved the small elements of Pinocchio that were added in. The Fox and the Cat, the donkey ears, the blue fairy being in the Luxor because of the light coming out of the top, and of course, the whale. My favorite part about TJ Klune's writing is his ability to jump between humorous and endearing moments so well. I loved every character, at least, every side character. Like with his other two books I have read, I found the “hero” to be the most boring and uninspired character in the cast. Outside of being human, Vic didn't really add a whole lot to the story for me. That being said, I loved all of the inappropriate jokes Nurse Rached and Rambo made at the expense of Vic. I'm a sucker for dick jokes. lol I loved this book.
