-Jeff VanderMeer for "Omnivoracious"
"Equal parts J.K. Rowling, Douglas Adams, and Shel Silverstein."

-"Philadelphia Weekly"
"Cheerfully insane. Remains lively and inventive right through the final heroic battle between good and evil."
-"The New York Times Book Review"
"Moers's great strength, as evidenced by the multitude of characters he presents, is his creativity. Less a text and more an imagination on paper."
-"Philadelphia Enquirer"
