Kirkus (US), January 2016 –
One could mine this book for subtexts-imaginary friends, the creator of life having to let it go, and the simple truth that extraterrestrial beings are made out of Electrolux canisters-but its surface qualities are equally, if not more than, adequate for high entertainment purposes.
