If you love words, and if you enjoy a good satire, you will like this book. I read it one sitting while waiting for the next letter to drop.

This is one of the most original books I've ever read. I still use the central challenge in this book (writing as short a sentence as possible using all of the letters of the alphabet) to help clear my mind on those insomnia nights....I would post my copy of the book, but I REALLY don't want to get rid of it.

Fantastic book! Difficult to read as it goes on, it really makes you work (and think), but extremely gratifying.

I enjoyed reading this book. It also gives a very good representation of how governments and people in positions of power can abuse and misuse a belief
in a mundane achievement.

This is the most unique book i have ever read. Say the name of the book fast and you will catch on fast as to the idea of the book, although this is the persons name in the story. Each sentence gets shorter and harder to read, so if you enjoy "mind strainers" and word games, this read is for you. All the letters must be used in a sentence. I found this so addicting it was hard to put down. It is actually a story, and a game, so be prepared to be engrossed.
