While the story is quite blah, I did enjoy the book and found several uses for my copy.
It's heavy, so it makes for a good doorstop or paperweight. You could throw it out a window to hit the annoying dog that goes on your lawn, but I hear some dog owners take offense to that.
It's full of pages--some with words--and each page makes for unique wrapping paper, scratch paper, or origami.
If you ever need to cut and paste a ransom note, this book is an excellent resource.
