Sock

I bought this book after reading a short blurb about it in my school paper. Basically, I had run out of things to read and was looking for anything I could get my hands on. My expectations were low, the idea of the sock monkey sounded like a bit of a "fluff" and I expected the "murder mystery" to be a sort of romping adventure not dissimilar to nancy drew. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find an intriguing, philosophic journey demonstrating a unique and inventive look at the world. The distance of the narrator from the story itself provides a remarkable oportunity to view the events of the tale objectively and from many new and unexpected angles. The psychological analysis of the characters is remarkable, and the style of writing is incredibly fun and entertaining while still insightful. The whole time I was reading this book, I just kept thinking "I don't know what to make of this" but by the end, I was sad to finish it. DEFINITELY worth the read!

This book is a lot of fun. Told from the Point of view of a sock monkey it moves along at a staccatto pace. Extra points if you can figure out all of the song lyrics that end nearly every paragraph.
