Overall Thoughts:
This was a very interesting concept and I think the execution was pretty good overall. Unfortunately, this book was littered with typos. Otherwise, the writing was quite good and I loved all the punny chapter titles. I do think the ending was a little abrupt and the plot was a tad predictable, but those points didn't have a major impact on my attitudes towards this book. :)
