I really enjoyed this. Admittedly, not quite as much as I did the first one. I think it sometimes took its slapstick ridiculousness a tad too far. But overall it was a real winner. I like that there wasn’t really any angst in the romantic subplot, the underlying theme of acceptance, and the humor. But mostly I just love the varieties of crazy in all of the characters and how they all come together as a whole in the end.
Death is treated awefully lightly though. Some of the main characters, ones that the reader is meant to sympathize with, slaughter others fairly indiscrimiantly and one is to understand innocents are amonf those caught in the fray. I found that a little hard to overlook.
All in all, however, I’ll be eagerly awaiting a third book. There is going to be another, isn’t there? And maybe a fourth and fifth and sixth? A girl can hope.
