Spritzerville,…Ohio? by Tommy Kovac, Jason R. Koivu
5.0
This book delights the mind with beautiful imagery, well rounded characters, endless humor (both adult and child-like in nature), and a feeling of excitement for the next page.
I loved reading Spritzerville. It reads very much like my favorite bedtime fairy tales of my youth, but with adult themes and context. Of course, it contains the humor of a pre-teen, as well, making it that much more cheeky to read. I chortled and guffawed quite a lot.
Koivu's ability to create a landscape that you would like to jump into, or run far away from, was impressive. You could not help but feel a true sense of empathy and love for each of the characters. I never thought I would be rooting for a poo baby.
My only complaint for this book were the evil clowns. I read this part right before bed by accident, and had nightmares for the next several nights.
