Sophie's world: What wall?

Sophie's world has, like the incarnation of unpredictability, Deadpool, become merely a fourth wall defying monster. The fourth wall, which they've decided to downright demolish, build a hotdog stand on top of and then advertising a brand new hot dog stand with an annoyingly colored sign, complete with neon lights and such, made me have a conniption and led to my writers senses not just tingling but burning like a fiery coal. My rage thus established lets move on to the enjoyment of a reader at seeing the break of the fourth wall. At first, the novelty can force a laugh from both the green and experienced reader, but in the long run it only leads to a character being known as a cloud-cuckoo lander or a running gag. Mr. Amundsen pulls it off rather well, avoiding both of these possibilities with the use of both allusion and his setting to create a surreal environment that can only be described as downright bizarre, if at least a little bit believable. This understanding of the reader's suspension of disbelief is actually used quite well by the author, leading to a reading experience that actually works and helps promote philosophical thought. The fourth wall exists to divide the reader and the novel but the end result of the fourth wall is to link rather than divide, it brings the reader into the novel and brings the world of the novel into the mind of the reader.
