Footnotes! Love 'em. I haven't read it since I was a teen but I remember the Bartimaeus trilogy also having hysterically funny footnotes.

If you love footnotes, may I suggest Infinite Jest.

Or, as some may call it, Infinite Footnote.

I loved the bartimaeus trilogy.

Especially the footnote.

I don't like stories told in first person. But third person with first person sarcastic commentary? Sign me up!
