Porua: I thought the language would be too difficult to understand and that will make the humor difficult to enjoy. I was wrong.

Porua: I rarely read books I know nothing of, from authors I know nothing of. Both were true for this book and yet I not only read and enjoyed it, I actually bought a print copy of it.

Porua: I had no idea who the author was or what the story was about. Ideally, I don't like books with 'weird' elements like hypnotism and this book was overall bonkers! Didn't think I would enjoy something like this, but I did. Was the perfect summer read.
