Dad's comments:  I've never seen Harrison so distracted by a book that he couldn't finish his blog post.  He actually had a tough time starting.  As soon as he got the book in his hand, he started re-reading it. I had to remind him about posting, which is usually a very exciting thing for him.  But alas, this book appears to be too much fun.
