The Parrot

This book i find particularly hilarious. Unfortunately there isn't enough story to hold the humor in my opinion. We keep getting closer to a story, and then it all falls apart, and this aggravates me because I really like the humor and tenseness that is created during these story portions. Were this to be less of a reference type book and more of a story I'd probably already be done with it. If Barnes is writing it this way to make it a playfull it isn't working. Instead it is making me frustrated.

I feel that there is enough story behind the humor, but i could see how it makes you angry. For me it is a good book so far

This seems a bit thin; try and pursue your own good observations further!
