I found myself struggling to keep engaged, which is a bad sign for a relatively short book filled with punchy dialogue (did I mention the rhyming?).

One additional note: It's a very risky thing to present a character as an ingenious writer, and then to actually incorporate examples of 'his writing' in your text (in this case, the main character's lyrics, which are scattered throughout the book, and have the last word in the book itself). It's risky because you, the writer, are the one creating this supposedly genius work, and if the work falls flat (which it does in this case - has Greenman ever written a song? Hint: It's not like writing a story or novel), you have no one to blame but yourself.]]>
