Disclaimer: When I first saw this book I thought I would hate it.
I do NOT like text message shorthand- I don't use it in texts, and I especially don't like it when it's used outside of texts. However, this was a really clever book that was actually fun to read. The book is written in words and uses numbers to stand in for some sounds, like l8r and s2pendous. At times it feels like a puzzle. I laughed in delight at figuring out some of the words.
My favorite quote from the book comes from the endpapers: "What do you think you'll be like as 18ager?"
