....Mmmmmmeh. This was a cute enough experiment in fiction, but should have been at maximum 40 pages instead of 200. As it was, it read like a lame, tedious mashup of Orwell's "Animal Farm" and Rand's "Anthem" - not just because of its length, but also its unnecessary epistolary format and infuriatingly precious prose (that title, even! Sets my teeth on edge). Incidentally, both "Animal Farm" and "Anthem" are about half the length of "Ella Minnow Pea"; heavily moralizing dystopic fiction can only be really successful in short, pithy bursts.
