So much fun!

Everyone enjoyed this book! It's sparklingly witty, hilarious, and moral without being cloying. Takes a wild story and makes it totally believable. So much to love.

E.Nesbit knocks it out of the park again. Such a fantastic little story! Wonderful narration, too.

The kids loved it so I guess it earns a few stars?

Revisado: 12-21-20

I'm giving this three stars for several reasons even though I ultimately hated it. THE GOOD:
#1 The author is from our home state of GA, yay! It's fun to know intimately the geography and culture that inspired his writing.
#2 The story is a pretty neat idea and so unique. A southern King David? From a swamp? When I figured out where the story was going I had high hopes.
#3 The younger kids loved it! From the opening to the last words they were totally hooked. They begged for more, which is a bummer because I wasn't a fan for a number of reasons. THE BAD:
#1 The mix is just too bizarre. Redneck swagger mashed up with Biblical legend and British history bits, then throw in some indigenous swamp people for good measure. I could never settle into this story because I kept being startled by another curve ball. Like sitting down to eat a delicious cinnamon roll and then two bites in, BAM! Garlic....and is that...... cheddar?
#2 For all its whiz pop fireworks of weirdness this story managed to be downright boring. The main character has struggles, but they're all external. He's the Wilderking and can do no wrong. The cliches had me groaning before they even arrived. It was painful.
#3 I don't want to hate too hard here, because I know the author narrated his own story and I'm sure that's not easy, but the narration was just not my favorite. And that "bark of the bog owl" that he loves doing? It's not fun to hear four kids replicate it in the backseat. The moment I heard it I regretted this book and I've been regretting it ever since.
#4 The older than ten group was not a fan. Husband took a 30 second listen and deemed it "horrible" and older teen who suffered through roughly 50% with me had similar complaints.

We'll likely buy the next book just because the kids want to see where the story goes, but it won't be a family road trip listen, it'll be more like a "mom suffers through it to keep the kids happy while running errands" sort of listen.
