Becca (becca2) | 4 comments I liked it so much that I ordered the next two books in the series from Amazon to be delivered overnight. I also pre-ordered the fourth book. It took me a little while to get into it because it was Spring Break for my kids. Once I did get into it, I couldn't put it down.

I will say that the main character makes disparaging remarks about J.K. Rowling and one of my all-time favorite books The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time . I do not know enough about the author to discern whether these are his true personal feelings or if it's supposed to be part of the character's makeup.

Celeste (celestelueck) | 54 comments Glad to know you liked the book, but bad things about J. K. Rowling and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, how dare he.
