“I quite liked the first book in the series, but thought this one was not consistent. The author veers from zany comedy--complete with references to farting and smelly armpits; to middle school angst, with malevolent teachers and completely unreasonable adults; to horror, with corpses drained of blood and monsters lurking everywhere. The fairy tale references that were so much fun in the first book had palled a little. The cliffhanger ending was genuinely creepy, so maybe I'll try just one more in the series...”
