Come, Thou Tortoise by Jessica Grant


Come, Thou Tortoise will hook you with its punny goodness, its charming narrators (Oddly and Winnifred/Iris) and its obviously deceptive plot. But beyond the wordplay, which at times is so clever, I'm amazed I hadn't caught on earlier, there are these characters that really make you want to know more. Even the bit parts - the Antonios, if you will - are fascinating to read about. I won't write a long gushing review; I will say that this is definitely worth the read. And an amazing summer book to boot.
