Review of Of Zots and Xoodles
[Following is a volunteer review of "Of Zots and Xoodles" by Zarqnon the Embarrassed.]
Of Zots and Xoodles is a witty book written by Zarqnon the Embarrassed. It gives us a scientific insight into how the universe came to be. The author feeds on his Imagination and serves us a fascinating story about what happened before the birth of the universe. This book gives us an account of how Theodil created the universe.
Theodil stands in front of the committee and informs them that he is going to create the universe. He creates dots, called Zots, by rolling the dice. He then creates noodle-like shapes, called Xoodles, from the Zots. As Theodil continues to develop the parameters, which included light and time, the committee gets agitated. They don’t believe it is possible to create a universe from Zots and Xoodles. They wanted things to remain the way they were.
This is one of those rare times that a book squeezed through my chest and grabbed my heart. Some books can give you chills, but some have the ability to haunt you. This story was so immersive; once I started reading it, I did not put it down. The story is stuck in my head; the dialogues are still running on repeat, and some scenes are still playing out like a film in my imagination.
One of the most appealing things about this book was the illustrations. There were illustrations in this book that portrayed the progress of Theodil's creation. These illustrations helped me, as a reader, to get a better understanding of the story. There were illustrations that show the evolution of the Zots to Xoodle, which were significant in helping me understand the creation process. The cover artwork was also thought-provoking and beautifully done.
The dialogues in this book helped to move the story forward in a seamless manner. For instance, when the committee was steadily questioning Theodil's creations, they brought up issues that are not relevant. These conversations helped break the complex feel brought about by the sophisticated terminologies thrown around in the book. The characters evolved through the dialogues; the dialogues brought about a change in mood in the characters.
There is nothing I disliked about this book; it exceeded all my expectations. I did not encounter any grammatical errors while reading it. The author used some complex words and expressions in this book. However, they did not interfere with my overall reading experience. I give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading books that make them think outside the box. Readers who are fans of science fiction will also love this book. It does not contain profanity or sexual content; hence, it is safe for all age groups.
