This series, although it is totally different from the other books that Brandon Sanderson has written, is extremely funny and captivating as long as you don't mind the seemingly random tangents. If you are a Brandon Sanderson fan, I think they're definitely worth checking out because they still have a lot of the same things that make his other books great, such as an awesome magic system and of course the wacky sense of humor. My favorite thing about the series, however, is how many rules it breaks for your standard children's book. Some people might find it annoying that the plot is often secondary to the tangents with random things being thrown in at every turn, but I find it refreshingly different. I think the important thing to do while reading these books is to never take them too seriously, because I don't think it's meant to be taken seriously. Sure, there's plenty of messages about life in them, but you can't read them just for that, because of the near-constant contradictions. So I recommend reading the book primarily for fun, and perhaps you'll be pleasantly surprised by what you get out of it.
