Okay, so I'm still miffed that they pulled the "saga" card and turned this into a series when the first book would have been delightfully great as a stand alone. But still, it is a fun series, but I felt the photos were a little more forced into the story than in the first book. It was still a gripping sequel, not a boring setup book, with action and a nice little twist at the end, and of course, a cliff-hanger. Anyway, I'll definitely read the third book, but I really hope they don't draw this series out. Making it lengthy rather than quality will doom this series.

Why do we read books that aren't well written? Concept. Ransome Riggs has a quirky and intriguing concept, I just wish his writing was equal to the task of bringing the story to life. I'll probably read the next one because I like the pictures, but this is wearing thin.

I liked this book more than the first one but at times I found it rather slow. The ending was AMAZING...I thought I knew what was going to happen but this plot threw some wicked curve balls! Cannot wait to start Library of Souls. ♥
