Reviews

ABusytown for both the directionless and uncertain and those wiling away their days doing nothing. (In other words, theres a brunch scene.) barnesandnoble.com Children will enjoy the book for the pictures and the simple sentences, but millennials will enjoy the book for the dry, satirical and spot-on humor. Dallas Observer What Are We Even Doing With Our Lives captures the zeitgeist of right now and the past ten years by knowingly sending up Brooklyn-style trust fund-funded self-absorption with the anthropomorphic trappings of Richard Scarrys Busytown.
