This one didn't really float my boat. Although at times I thought there was real wit, the delivery was lacking. It seemed like one of the problems was the lack of purpose to the book. Who was it really pitched at? Adults? Then it needed more content and complexity (or just to be a lot funnier). Kids? Then the...

I enjoyed every other book in this series, and I was glad I finally managed to read this :).
The book was very fast paced - within the first or second chapter things were happening. It was very exciting, with...
This book was nothing like I expected, and I had pretty high expectations because the act attracted me. It was right through the rather dull and not the least bit exciting as it promised to be, and the end are we just not talk about. The book could just as easily been about the kidnappning that took place 20...

Like the first book in the series, this is engaging and enjoyable overall, but it does suffer in places. I was reminded that Sandie becomes at times actually unlikable through her jealousy and possessiveness, which is only touched upon here; there will be more! Still, at least her being ill throughout...
