Better than the first one and it served as a decent driving companion. This series is never going to be a favourite of mine at this point in my life, but I absolutely see the appeal.

This Charming Man by C.K. McDonnell is the second book about the staff of the Stranger Times newspaper.
I enjoyed it even more than the first, as it was equally weird, fun and chaotic, but the characters started to feel more rounded.
Yes, they are still bonkers and over the top, but that's on purpose and fits the story like, to use a German saying, a fist fits an eye!
New adventures and mysteries pare up with questions from the first book to make for a marvelous reading experience.
Don't read this if you have a problem with swearing or sarcasm. Definitely get yourself a copy if that sounds appealing!

this one took me a bit to complete. sadly, not as compelling to me as the first one. some moments seem to go on for longer than needed to. still manages to make for a good read however. the character interactions are still fun and memorable. like 3.7.
