    1. I agree with you that Zarf is an amazing book. I like how Zarf faces his arch nemesis, Prince Roquefort to get the king back because in my opinion, the King was better then Prince Roquefort.

  2. Fractured fairy tales usually follow a formula. Zarf smashes that formula. This is a really fun, although somewhat disrespectful and inappropriate story of a storybook troll and his friends who crash their way through other fairy tales in order to touch on themes of bullying (the crown prince is a real jerk), discrimination (trolls are looked down upon in Zarf’s society) and the challenges of middle school (some things never change). It’s like fractured fairy tale meets Big Nate… and then you see that on the cover, Lincoln Pierce (Big Nate author) endorses this book! Best quote ever: Zarf talking to his friend Kevin, “What’s up? You’re like a - - - - in a skillet.” (hint: go find the quote!)
    Seriously? What’s not to like?

  3. Life of Zarf is hilarious it's one of the best books I have ever read. This books genre is fantasy, well that's my opinion. If you want to know the main characters and their names I recommend reading the back. If you love comedy and reading I think this book is meant for you my favorite character is Kevin because he gets nervous sometimes and it is kind of funny I also think it is cool that he is a talking pig what is your favorite character?
