You know, I love this book. The pictures are beautiful, the text is well-written and funny, the story is good... there is just one part that sort of sticks in my craw... at the end when the author makes the comment about armies not being able to think. It just didn't seem to fit - it seemed more like a gripe or a jab from the author. We all understood what was happening and why the army would go to General Pinch's house, we just didn't need that extra commentary, I thought it sort of distracted from the story. It pulled me out of the story for a moment to look at the author and his views instead of what was happening. Still, a good book overall. ( )
