I've noticed this particular novel gaining more traction lately in my 'Latest Series' and I got instantly reminded of Touhou Project's Perfect Momento in Strict Sense & Symposium of Post-mysticism. (Also wondering if there are any Touhou Fans out in this site ?)

Anyway I have a few questions because I was I thinking of writing one like that novel, but I am wondering if:
1.) How do I write as the Point-of-View of an 'Unreliable Narrator'? — I am planning to use one particular character from my series to be this narrator.

2.) What are the dos and donts when narrating as the point-of-view of an unreliable narrator? Aside from accidentally or intentionally making them 'omniscient' to everything they see, which would definitely lead to spoilers and stuff.

3.) What do people want to see in a bestiary-type novel? — If I were to take Touhou's PMiSS/SoPM as an example, perhaps general information about the user's abilities, species and overall influence in the main story itself, regardless of how small or large it may be?
Then again, the large ones may have spoiler heavy stuff that I don't want to cover as of now.

I don't know if this will help you much, but here:

I'm pretty sure I don't know how amazon works (since I don't use it)

But oooh~ that looks neat. However, I am not too familiar with this book since I never read it before.

Care to examples of what this book contains?

It's nonfiction, so it's comparing people from different political parties to different animals. Can't talk about it too much more without breaking forum rules.
