I liked it. It wasn't a profound read, but it was warm and cozy. A little bit like of the X-Men were little kids and a government worker comes to check on them and falls in love with everything he didn't know he didn't know.
Warm and cozy.

I am but paper. Brittle and thin. I am held up to the sun, and it shines through me. I get written on, and I can never be used again. These scratches are a history. There a story. They tell things for others to read, but they only see the words and not what the words are written upon. I am but paper, and though there are many like me, none are exactly the same. I am parched parchment. I have lines. I have holes. Get me wet, and I melt. Light me on fire, and I burn. Take me in hardened hands, and I crumple. I tear. I am but paper. Brittle and thin.

Matt does not fail to disappoint on this, his sixth book. Full of the same irreverent humor as the previous books, he continues to keep the story engaging until the end. I'm already excited to see where the next book goes and whether this might be the end.

He'd accepted long ago that some people, no matter how good their heart was or how much love they had to give, would always be alone. It was their lot in life, and Linus had figured out, at the age of twenty-seven, that it seemed to be that way for him.
