This series is one of my favorites. These are probably the funniest books I've ever read and appropriate for all ages. My 35 yr old sister recommended them to me, and at 28 I enjoyed them so I much I had my mom and 12 year old sister read them also and now we are all hooked.

This is one of the strangest and most interesting books I have ever read ( with the exception of Haruki Murakami's novels). It is like a fever dream that keeps getting wierder and wierder. I absolutely love this book but still have trouble eating sprouts because of it.

One of my favorite books even though the first 50 pages are slow going. Most people I know couldn't get past the first part of the book but it is well worth it. A boy trapped on a life boat with exotic animals such as a hyena and a tiger. It kept me on the edge of my seat right up til the end.

This book was so well researched and interesting I did not skip over any information, each chapter was full of obscure facts. No other book I've encountered provides such a comprehensive view of daily life in Victorian England.

Incredibly detailed and very interesting. I did not skip over any chapters in this book as every topic she covered was of interest. No other book provides such an all encompassing view of life in Victorian England.
