I was actually a little surprised with how well this sequel followed the Gollywhopper Games. It did, of course, lose a little of the original's magic, but considering how much worse it could be (ahem...like the third book in the series...) it did a great job. The new characters weren't carbon copies of the original ones, and sometimes I even mix up the teams and the plots, which goes to show that the two books have a similar (high) quality. Nothing could've captured the je ne sais quoi of the original Gollywhopper Games, but the sequel managed to successfully keep the enthusiasm going.

I really liked solving the puzzles throughout this book. I liked reading about the different characters, though I was really sad that they didn't use the same characters from the first book. Overall, this book was not as good as the first one, but it was still an enjoyable read.

Cameron has never gotten any attention from his parents, who focus on his more talented older brother, Spencer, who's amazing at everything. Trying to increase his chances in The Gollywhopper Games, Spencer forces Cameron to enter for a ticket; a ticket that Cameron wins. Suddenly Cameron is solving puzzles on national television for money and fame. Along with 999,999 other kids, of course.

I thought the ending of this was weak. Not because of who did or didn't win, but because of what happened at the very end. (Won't continue with why as I don't want to leave spoilers.)

I just like these books so much. They're puzzle books, so the readers get to play along. Of you have middle child syndrome, this book is particularly good =P
