I love his writing style. It is light hearted and full of interesting ideas and personified animals (which in this case is kind of weird). All those little adventures are fun to read and he goes of on fun tangents that ultimately dont bother with the overall story but add this nice feeling to the book. This book, while on the same level as the trumpet swan, just ends. Margolo is never found. It literally just ends in the middle of Stuarts quest. The little girl chapter is also super weird and stuart is even partially unlikable. Overall though very entertaining.
