As far as Karen books go, this one wasn't too bad; in fact, from chapter 18 on, it was pretty funny (I was going to go 3 stars and then I got to chapter 18 and it was so entertaining from there on out that I gave it another star). I think the bit about a zoo coordinator wanting to randomly display their sculptures is a little out there, though. I was impressed with the pictures in the book because it's one of the few books I've read where the pictures accurately reflect the story, though I was disappointed there was no picture of Karen's capybara sculpture; if there had been, I probably would have had to give the book 5 stars!
