![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have little-to-no patience for explanation (or even buildup-to-action) in most books, and I almost deducted a star since it took quite a while for "frindle" to even be mentioned, but I do think the first several chapters were important to show Nick's character and demonstrate some of his other big ideas. And actually, I laughed at the David Letterman thing because it seemed far-fetched, but then I remembered Ellen, and it didn't seem so ridiculous. None of it felt unrealistic, because even in such a short book, every consequence of "frindle" was at least mentioned. ![]() Yeah, the book is funny, it's silly, but Clements absolutely thought through every single result of this little word-experiment: an entrepreneur trademarks the word, Nick second-guessed his later ideas, Nick gets on the David Letterman show. When my friends read this in elementary school, it was kind of a silly book about some obnoxious kid who decided he didn't like the word "pen." Now, I'm looking at a list of recent Merriam-Webster additions, and thinking about the uproar that comes every time they add something like "dumpster fire" or "FOMO" or "blockchain" - or when someone uses "they" as a singular pronoun. ![]()
