Well, it seems we’ve made it through Book Five and the adventures of Princess Doughnut and her man-servant Carl. The time just flew by. Flew, I say. …No, not you, Mongo. You can’t fly. You’re only a feathered dinosaur, after all.

Was the book worth it? Is Princess Doughnut your favorite Persian kitty in all the realms? Exactly. I’m glad we’ve come to this understanding.

Yes, I admit, the plot grew wearisome at times, and we had trouble following all the ups and downs of who’s siding with whom against what. But there was plenty of action, even if Carl had a tendency toward the maudlin. But you really should read the book. Or listen to it. We’ve become believers. You will, too.
