While I was very pleased with the first book in the series, I found this one to be less enthralling. The chapter titles were almost all puns or cliches and started to get old after a while. The story line was also forced. It didn't have a continuous imperative in the novel which was a let down compared to the first book. Instead, the novel was comprised of two parts, the interlude after the first book and the actual story of the second book. While the interlude was great and helped with transitioning, I still found the two part style of the novel to be detrimental to his overall success. The story line of the second part of the book was also less than original in the idea and execution. I normally don't have a problem with rehashed story lines but please make something original about it.Overall, this is a decent book to while away the time. Just don't expect it to be up to the level of the first book.
