I got this out of the library for my 4yo on a classmate's mom's recommendation.
My 4yo loved it, I hated it. I expect it would be fine for a slightly older kid who would get the "humor", but for my 4yo it was just exposing her for the first time to a bunch of inappropriate stuff.
Specifically:

I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as the first, but I did. There is none of the perceived perfectionism that many seem to see in the first one. These are just regular people trying their best in a rather unique society. This works very well as a coming of age story for the main character—a young...

Freddy Krueger getting a paragraph was the last straw for me (page 45). This is a lousy book. It is one of those pathological fantasy "authorities" which redefines its subject to include many, many things which don't belong (e.g. deities and Asian monsters).
The cover art is beautiful,...
