Just like the first book, it is equal parts funny and touching. I particularly loved Grant in this book; his antics made me laugh out loud. Patrick’s analogy about remaining members of a nuclear family being survivors of a lost civilization after a death was profound and illustrative. He notes that the children are “afraid of their civilization crumbling further under the weight of advancement,” and calls them “furious little archeologists trying to unearth it with those teeny brushes as fast as the present is busy burying it under more sand.”
I will agree with others that the pacing was a bit uneven and many of the references went over my head, just like in the first book. I do also wish that the trio’s travels lasted longer. But all in all this was a great read.
