Anyone who knows anything about this series knows the books are forever long. Just finishing one feels like a major accomplishment. That said, I do mostly enjoy this series... this installment maybe more than the last two. There were certainly sections where I had to force myself to continue reading (having already seen the series, I already knew, at least in the broadest sketches, what was coming), other stretches where nothing much seemed to happen, and still others where I lost myself for hours in the story and hardly came up for air. After plodding through the first half over the course of a month, I read the last half in about four days. 

This was cute. A little spooky, but nothing too scary. I really like these characters and the world the author has created. 

However, this installment was not nearly as funny, and there just wasn't much to it; it's not particularly memorable, but it was enjoyable. But her writing style does take a little to get used to; it's something I struggle with each time I start one of her books.
