I think this book suffered a bit from "middle installment syndrome". The fast-paced exposition and action in the first two books is over with, and the third book is there for a breather, and to set up the action for the final two books. In this book, the three Grace siblings decide to get to the bottom of the origin of the mysterious book and the strange goings-on, so they go to visit their great-aunt Lucinda, who is, unfortunately, in an asylum. As a result, this is a very talky book and light on action.
That isn't to say that I didn't enjoy the book. The climax of the book involves getting out of a trap in a very clever way, and I'm always a fan of that. Also, after I finished this volume, I was very excited to continue on.
As I read on in these books, I'm finding that I don't quite remember what happened in the movie. I think I'm due for a rewatch after I'm done with the whole series.

The story took a dark turn.. wasn't expecting such dark visions..
I've been reading the series out loud to my stepson and he seems to be enjoying them (we tried having him read them out loud but he was having a hard time with the author's writing style). At the end of this book he was very concerned about The Guide and was worried the brownie destroyed it. I think he's hooked :)
