Having read The Crimson Petal and White a few years back, I never would have thought I'd say that, but this book is nothing like Crimson. It is a really quick read, and funny. Out of this series I've only read The Penelopiad (and at that time I wasn't aware of the series).I'd definitely say I enjoyed this more. The best part of the book was definitely when Theo reads the Amazon reviews. That had me rolling. I agree with Spencer, this book is very accessible.

Michel Faber does a great job of presenting a compelling story with a protagonist who is pretty oblivious to the consequences of his actions, at least at first. I couldn't put this book down, I wanted to know how it would end. I recommend this book to people who aren't sure if they want to read this series. it's a good starting point (unless you're like me and just want to read them all in order!)
