Hello! I'm a book!

I can say with all modesty that The Book That No One Wanted To Read might be the most important book of all time. Why? Because it’s the first book to have been written by a book. Most books are written by authors. Here is what some of them have to say about this book:

“A very—very—funny book that’s also a playfully philosophical exploration of why we write and why we read.”—Mac Barnett, author of Sam and Dave Dig a Hole and What Is Love?

“The book everyone should read … a hilarious but heartfelt guide to the power of the imagination in every child.”—Piers Torday, author of The Last Wild

A book that narrates itself! Richard Ayoade and a host of friends help this book tell its own story with multiple voices, music, and sound effects.

Remarkably heart warming, enchanting from beginning to it's unfortunate, impending ending. The voice acting was charming, quickly falling inlove with every bit of this book. From a "Book That No One Wanted to Read" to a book that I wish I could read again for the first time.

I wanted to read the book, best decision yet

The book was a little short. If it was a solid 15 paragraph book i would be fine but otherwise its really good

It was creative and funny. I loved when i figured out the book was talking to me telepathically
