Great fun!

I really enjoyed this book! It was a lot of fun to read: try to imagine if Mel Brooks had written George Orwell's 1984 to get a sense of the themes and humor that is pervasive throughout. There also might have been a message about the errosion of our individual freedoms and stuff like that, but I mostly liked the poop jokes.
