Hughes created a new typeface for the novel.[2] Adapting the novel for e-readers was difficult, and Hughes considers the printed book to be the way the novel "should be read".[2]
Reception
According to literary review aggregator Book Marks, the novel received mostly "Rave" reviews.[3]
Neville Hawcock, writing for The Financial Times, praised the graphic elements of the book as an "enjoyable variation" from typical novels.[1] Lydia Fletcher, in a review published by The Library Journal, criticized the novel as occasionally "difficult to follow" in part due to the "mixed-media" portions.[4]
