3.0

Plot seems to happen in between paragraphs, rather than in them. Every time something seemed to be happening, it was instead suddenly resolved.

Every single character in this book gives the impression of being slightly insane.

The first half of the book is mostly dedicated to making fun of the English, which, being English, was obviously my favorite part.
