In the midst of a fatal asthma attack, Arthur was given a smidgen of magical power. Using it, he was able to not only survive the attack, but also stage a revolution against the languid Mister Monday. After claiming Monday's powers for his own, Arthur granted them to a Steward so he could return to the mortal world to continue living life as a child. But the second Monday ended, Tuesday began--and Grim Tuesday was fearful that Arthur would do to him what he'd already done to Mister Monday. And so once again, Arthur was forced into a magical world where he was magically out-classed and far too physically delicate.
Arthur is wonderfully unique, and his travails always thrill. His first opponent was the epitome of a man made lazy and entitled by unchecked privilege. The second, Grim Tuesday, could easily be read as a personification of industrial progress at the expense of ecology or human rights. I'm interested to see what the third one will be!

I wish I liked this series more, I love his other books.
This book was better than the first, but again still not my favorite. I am not sure what my problem is with this series, but it is a hard one to get into. I will continue to read the series, but I think I am just hoping it will get better.
Definitely more exciting than Mister Monday. There was a lot more happening and you learn more about the house and the architect. Obviously there is still a lot that is a mystery but the ending definitely has my curiosity piqued.
Definitely better than the first one because he didn't need to do a lot of explaining and could just get on with the story. We're now hooked and will read the next one, so he did something right!
