Interesting story, dull prose.

This book has some interesting ideas. The book is written (although, it is fiction) as a first person memoir, ranging from different ages of the characters life. I am glad I read it, it was a short and easy read. If you are already interested in reading it I would say you should do so.

If you are interested in learning about ocd read this. A well researched book with a personal perspective.

This book had potential to be great but fell short for me. The writing is nice, though I probably didn't need to be reminded of the circus' colour scheme nearly every chapter.
The romance that the second half of the books story focuses on felt extremely forced .

Not a terrible book and if you feel it interests you then try it.

My least favourite Patrick Ness book so far unfortunately. As many others will mention I just didn't see the necessity of the stranger half of the book. The main body of the story is okay, however I have seen other YA authors do this kind of thing better. I really like Ness as a writer and I have enjoyed a lot of his other books but I'm not a great fan of this (or his last book).

Very good book, well conceived

Erika from the Perks of Books recommended this book....
and it was fun. Silly and ridiculous but fun.
It's somewhat like an epic B movie about a gigantic killer shark, if that sounds fun to you then give it a go.

Nice children's book, I wish I had childhood nostalgia for it.

3.5 stars. Entertaining and interesting idea. I was a little underwhelmed by the ending.

Funny book, a little muddled with too many story threads

I didn't like any of the characters :/

Funny at the start, lost steam by the last third. Maybe it could have been a little shorter to keep the joke funny.

It's just an awesome book
