Reason for Reading: I saw Jason Segel being interviewed on one of Ross's TV shows (The Daily Show maybe) and he was promoting this book. It sounded interesting enough so I added it to my list at the library and it came in this month.
Review: I did not know what to expect from this book. Upon reading the inner cover I realized it was written as a children's book, but still sounded interesting enough for me to enjoy.
Charlie, the main character, is riddled with sleep deprivation at the start of the book and it quickly starts to explain why. He's afraid his step-monster (mother) is a witch! And if he does sleep he has nightmares of being taken away..
The story steps over into fantasy and at first that threw me off since I didn't expect it, but once I got settled into it I was fine. I really enjoyed the things that played out once Charlie entered his nightmares and I felt like the story ended nicely tying up numerous small plots started throughout the book.
Overall I gave this 5/5 since it was good and I'd read it again.
