“A very interesting book.
The narrator, here, provides a well-timed and eloquent contrast--acting as a chorus and as a mitigating voice in times of intense action. His voice is reminiscent of Lemony Snicket's, in "A Series of Unfortunate Events," though his humor occasionally proves tiresome when invoked at a vaguely inappropriate moment.
The story itself is intriguing.
The characters are lovable and distinctive...quirky and interesting. It is their development that is most enthralling throughout the course of the novel, though the mystery being solved is interesting in its own right. The tone is quick and moody, and the pace is perfectly matched to the storyline. All-in-all, certainly a fun read!”
