I really don't know what to say about all the stupid people recorded in this book, except that they made me laugh, and a A LOT. Because one thing is having a kid saying things like this:
- When I grow up, I’m going to be a book ninja.- Mummy … have we gone back in time?! (upon entering a really old, antique bookstore)
- Suggesting the bookseller to protect the books in her basement with a trained dragon.
That's perfectly acceptable. Children are hilarious, and have the best, widest imagination.
But another, completely different thing, is having an adult saying stuff like:
- I only like books that I can really believe happened, you know? Like Twilight.
- Do you have audiobooks on sign language?
- If I buy this book, can I transfer it onto my friend’s Kindle?
- My son’s getting married next week. Do you have a book to help me make sure it doesn’t rain on his big day? Some incantations or something?
- Where’s your true fiction section?
*face palm* People like this make me scared of asking "how much stupider can it get?", because they seem to be taking it as a challenge.
But they made me laugh, and that's enough for me.
