Since this is the first time that I read Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians for my mystery book project, I find this novel funny with a great sense of humour because it takes place in a dystopian land separated in fractions, as Alcatraz Semdry is known as an oculator for breaking stuff unexpectedly, and is being considered a hero, or, in other words as I describe this book: Deadpool living in a dystopian world where is is known as a hero. The reason why Alcatraz is like Deadpool is because they both break the fourth wall between the storyline of each chapter, and that they are good at fighting (excluding Alcatraz for breaking stuff). Therefore, I think that, to be honest, that this novel feels more of a children movie, due to the fact that Alcatraz made many mistakes within the novel, like when he was saying stupid stuff after Bastille tells him that he is stupid. Overall, I recommend you to read this humour dystopian novel because a hero with an incredible talent...for breaking things. A life-or-death mission...to rescue a bag of sand. A fearsome threat from a powerful secret network...the evil Librarians. Alcatraz Smedry doesn't seem destined for anything but disaster when on his 13th birthday he receives a bag of sand, which is quickly stolen by the cult of evil Librarians plotting to take over the world. The sand will give the Librarians the edge they need to achieve world domination. Alcatraz must stop them!...by infiltrating the local library, armed with nothing but eyeglasses and a talent for klutziness, which the adventure never stops, after each one, for Alcatraz's beginning as an oculator!
