Long title I know. This book is pretty interesting since it is written in the sense of being a textbook for a sycophant but this textbook doesn't belong to just any sycophant. This book belongs to Lev's sycophant, Clover. Or at least it did that is until he accidentally dropped it before returning to Foo. This book is also unique in that after each chapter the teacher left room for the sycophants to write their thoughts down about what he or she thought about that certain chapter/lesson. It really helps you get into the mind of Clover and understand him a bit better. I loved the little doodles all over the place that Clover put in it the most. This book really makes you feel like you are reading a textbook. One thing that you need to be mindful of is that if you read this book you are going to need to read a few more Leven Thumps books then just the first one. If you don't then you will be missing some inside information. Anyways here is what the Professor wrote about his own textbook to help you get a feel for what you will find..
Greetings, my young sycophant, greetings. How fortunate you are to be holding such a magnificent book. How your mind must be shivering in anticipation of the great wisdom of which you are about to partake. I know I can hardly wait, and I wrote the book. I know it will be tempting to quote and speak aloud the beautifully written text you are about to experience, but please, for the sake of all that is possible in Foo, do not. The very existence of your world and dreams could be shattered by your carelessness. Do not let this book out of your sight. You have been warned. On a much happier note, enjoy!
