I loved this book so much. It was just perfect to me - it was funny, bizarre and heartwarming. There were talking dolphins and sentient cats that could communicate with keyboards which alone made it amazing. The writing was amazing and so funny. I loved Charlie - he was a really well written character and cared a lot about him. I also liked Mathilda and of course Hera, the cat. The plot itself was really interesting and the adventures were so much fun. I liked how fast paced and action packed it was. It was definitely crazy and wildly unrealistic but I don’t care about that. There were some intense scenes and a couple little twists that I loved. The ending made me surprisingly emotional. Some books are so entertaining and enjoyable to read that you never want them to end - this was that book for me.
