Totally loved this quirky family. Enough to keep reading the series. The writing was funny and smart and kept me hooked.

There are some good ideas and characters here, but some bad ones too.
In the end, as I was beginning to suspect,
Boring in too many places, predictable in others, this book is like a fire that won't quite catch, or a musical jam session that just didn't click.
Perhaps what we have here is a book that's about 30% too long, stretched to standard length. Might have been a great novella.
There's plenty of potential here, and I have to decide whether another one in this series will be better. Luckily, Goodreads will be able to tell me.
