4.0 out of 5 stars fun, but wow, so many typos

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2023

The book is fun & interesting. But I'm astounded by the typos, especially the mangled hyphens - I've never encountered a book with so many typos. What happened??

3.0 out of 5 stars Too highbrow for me

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2020

Aside from the nasty printing / typesetting errors with mangled hyphens, the content and writing were both too earnest for me. I had hoped for a lighthearted read: this is more scholarly, and unnecessarily sprinkled with tough vocabulary. But I enjoyed the plentiful illustrations, and will pay more attention to brollies in my future reading.
