Poor Maggie just can't catch a break, but I loved following her as she experienced the epitome of "Wrong place, wrong time." This book was entertaining from cover to cover, and I'm excited to follow up with it's new(ish (I'm behind on my reading)) sequel, "Entangled."

The characters are witty, smarts and very memorable. Be prepared for a couple of surprises.

Excellent for its sense of humor, mainly.  This is one of the funniest books I've read, and reminded me of Catch-22 for the variety of characters.  Russo describes them without laboring, so that halfway through the book, he has more than a dozen characters available for his protagonist to play off, and the ways he plays off them are hilarious.
The book has a funny combination of outlandish events and normal circumstance.  Some might think that the combination of events is too unlikely, but I'm willing to excuse it because the book is so much fun.  It's not completely without purpose either, it just doesn't feel weighty.

Really funny, clever, and well-done. You wouldn't think this would be good, but it's HILARIOUS. It's smart in a savvy, but self-depreciating way that's super rare and fun to watch.

Light, funny and smart - it's a perfect escape.  I laughed out loud more than once.  You can't go wrong with Jeeves.

This was a fun read. The first of its kind that I recall reading (steampunk). The dialogue was active, flowed smoothly, and never bored.  There is a fair share of troubles, and varied characters to boot. Although I am several decades into adulthood, this novel spoke to the youth in me, while still satisfying my adult side. I'm comfortable recommending it to family and friends, including youths. It's got humor, laughter, seriousness, and loss. I had so much fun with this story, I even read it out loud to further enhance my enjoyment of it. My audience loved what they were hearing and wanted more. Give us more Lucretia, Liebniz, and Orion,  pretty please Katy.

Intelligent, witty with twists and alot of violence . It isn't weighed down with  unecessary  dialogue. It is a story  that takes your breath away  or finds a boundary and gleefully leaps across it.

Protecting you had me laughing in the first ten pages. The characters are witty and smart and have great banter.  This book should come with a fan because leaves you in need of a cool down. If you like crime stories with a healthy dose of steam, you'll love it

I'd recommend this book if you enjoy reading with your children. It's smart and funny: able to please both children and adults with outright funny situations and clever dialogue.

The most important part of review for a humor book is whether it's funny. Which this is, hands down.
The jokes manage to keep surprising page after page and pull off being smart and low-brow at the same time.

The guest artists are numerous and wonderful and is like a virtual who's who in indie comics right now.
Less important, but still notable is how well-designed this book is. Not only is it well put together, it's full of bonus gags about the book itself.

Loved it. Heartily recommend it to anyone who loves indie comics / laughing/ things that are good.

What a wonderful book. Smart, gentle, extremely funny and totally inoffensive, this is the sort of book you can encourage just about any kid to read. It's formatted in chapters, but it really functions as a series of short stories, and its wonderful language makes it easily accessible to kids from preschool to middle-grades, and its sophisticated sense of humor makes it appealing even up into adulthood. A great book for anyone.

I wanted something that was fun and smart to read and this was it.  I wasn't disappeared in the story nor the characters.
