Alcatraz vs. The Evil Librarians

This is one of the wackiest series I have ever read.

That is not to say that it isn't also one of the best.

The author, Brandon Sanderson, is amazing at mixing storytelling devices that you never thought would work. This series is his most extreme version of that.

Alcatraz is cursed. He has long been resigned to this fact when he receives a mysterious package in the mail, closely followed by a bizarre old man claiming to be his grandfather. He soon meets more members of his "family", and discovers that the world is very, very different than all he had known before. And his curse is far more than it seems...

The story is engaging and well presented. But the narration is where it gets great.

Alcatraz is writing his memoirs, and shattering glass- is he sarcastic. He toys with your mind, makes fun of you and himself and fish sticks. (He hates them.)

I cried from laughing while reading this. And I cried from other things. This series is a rollercoaster of emotion. I listened to the Audible audiobook (I finished three of them in a week!), and I think that the narrator was the best I had ever heard. You cannot put it down. (Or in my case hit pause.)

This series is one that you enjoy reading, for the sake of the book, the author, and yourself.
