Absurdistan reflection

In my opinion this book is great. It's humor and satire keeps the book interesting, funny, and fun to read. Although the book was gross and hard to read at times, like Misha's encounter with lybia, it was still a good read and the satire helps the reader stay on topic throughout the book. My favorite part of the book is not one specific part. It is the witty and satirical humor that can be found throughout the book and not just in one part. This meant that when reading a witty joke comes up here and there it is not just in one spot then it never surfaces again. The title of the book is very fitting not just because there is a country named Absurdistan in the book but because the book as a whole is absurd. All the things that happen are strange and even the main character himself is strange. Though the story line is strange and gross at times the humor shows through and really makes this book a great read. Overall Absurdstan is a great book because of its witty humor and should be recommended to all people that like satire.
