Concept is cute, but it's frustrating.

I like the idea of a boy getting trapped in a book that he's cut up, altered, and flipped around. It's quite fun to see him have to deal with the repercussions to the story that his meddling has created, and I really like that as a story.
But I hate how hard it is to read the book, especially as a dyslexic person. There are cursive fonts that are incredibly difficult for me (and definitely hard to recognise for young language learners), sometimes words are suddenly written backwards, other scenes have them upside down (for good affect, but it gets old after the first page). It's just... so badly handled?
Like, the story is cute and something fun for kids to think about and imagine, but this book is just so unnecessarily difficult to read.
