I didn't love this as much as I wanted to because it goes off the rails in some parts on tangents that have nothing to do with the main story. It's not a bad read, it's just long for no reason. The storytelling really excelled when O'Malley described action scenes and slugged to a stop when it came to personal relationships. I may or may not read the sequel. I recommend this to fans of Jasper Fforde. Also, I think this book deserved a more unique cover, this one is too subtle and does not reflect the wild story hidden on the inside.
