Reading: The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation

Just finished it, actually. A helluvan interesting little book. Aimed at younger teens, I'd guess, it's substantial enough to be enjoyable by adults, sez me. I'm not smart about literature, but I enjoyed this book a lot, and I think I got something valuable out of it. Sadly, my aforementioned literary not-smartness prevents me from saying anything interesting or illuminating about this (or, for that matter, any) novel.

But FWIW, I recommend this book, and if you've got a kid, consider sending it in their direction.
