Review of 'Undermajordomo Minor' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Words can't really express the total weirdness of this story. I found myself almost guiltily hooked and coming back for more not because I was so engaged in the characters, but just for the flow of the words. I can't say it's a book i'd read again, but it certainly had a charm and appeal while I was in there.
