Absolutely ridiculous in the most delightful way, and the concept is so clever. It's funny, and yet it also brings up some very serious themes about free speech and censorship.
Mom should know it's squeaky clean, but a little tricky to decipher toward the end with so many letters outlawed. For that reason I don't think an audiobook version would do it any justice because all that creative spelling is truly a work of art.
