Rob Adams was rather intimidated by this book, he was afraid to open it. Call him what you want, but fear comes with the territory of text boxes written backwards. Rob didn't want to open the book, he wanted to sit on his nightstand, but eventually Rob bit the bullet, Rob cracked the book.
When Rob began his journey into the strangest books he has ever read, he only got to page 8 and stopped. He was rather out off by how convoluted the pages looked, how schizophrenic the plot seemed. He started on Saturday, he ended on Saturday; only to pick it up late Monday night.
Quite frankly Rob again, read only a few pages again. Rob skipped over most of the footnotes, as a former history major, Rob thinks footnotes were put on this earth to annoy and bother every writer on the planet, leaving them feeling cold and begging for the MLA format. Rob hungry, Rob smash.
Then Rob got to page 50. Page 50 has a math equation. Rob doesn't like math. While it is rather petty to ignore about 4 or 5 pages because a math equation, Rob continued forward. Rob got to about page 64, and stumbled upon the same thing Tom Mikos did, the list of names, while it conjured up memories of John Hodgman reading 700 Hobo names in his opus The Area of My Expertise.Nonetheless it isn't entertaining and nor is it to the tune of "Big Rock Candy Mountain."
Rob skipped the crossed out red lines from from 110-111. He saw minotaur but only went that far. He then proceeded to 119-145 where the text boxes make there appearance. Thats where Rob halted the reading process, he didn't want to have to read in the mirror, he then continued to page 147 and finished the rest of the assignment. While not reading that whole section, Rob did wonder if it was an elaborate Tetris game.
