Being an avid reader, perhaps I expected too much from this book. I didn't care for the way it was written and the cartoony illustrations served no purpose other than creating more bulk. At the risk of sounding petty, I also didn't care for the way the book was physically constructed -- thick pages, heavy binding -- making it cumbersome to hold open and read. Okay, that probably did sound petty, but for someone who reads in bed, it makes a difference. LOL
