This is very much a story of someone who is obviously rather different finding it hard to fit in. The drawings, which are cartoon-like, emphasise this difference and the style is almost like a comic, with helpful and humorous labels to identify everyone and what is going on. The plot with the smart gadgets and devices is also not quite as far-fetched as might first be thought and it makes it quite topical. Technically this is not a difficult read, but it brings up quite a lot of topics for discussion and I can see it being a popular choice for many readers looking for something a bit different. It is a very original idea and it seemed to leave with the possibility of a sequel; I hope so.
