Review: Lots of Characters; Somewhat Silly; OK Read
Rating: 3 out of 5

I almost gave up on this book early in my reading but stuck with it because the action and humor got better from about mid-way to the end.  In the beginning, I found it hard to keep track of all of the characters introduced in the story and what role they were playing.At the end, I thought the story could have been better without some of the characters adding confusion and becoming bit players that got too many words (in my opinion) written about them.  Adding to this was the sometimes wordy style of the author and the silly actions by the players in the story.In total, the story was funny (with some bits where I outright laughed or chuckled) but felt contrived and too long.
