T.K. Roxborogh liked Melinda Szymanik's review of Lenny's Book of Everything: "A most unusual story, beautifully written, with such a powerful impact. At times I thought, this isn't a book for young people, with some very mature themes floating around in it, but it feels like an important book and I hope everyone reads it."
