A review by beccadavies
Alex and the Ironic Gentleman by Adrienne Kress
3.0
Some bits were very funny and witty while other bits just made the story drag on.
Some of Alex's adventures on her way to rescuing her teacher were genius (my favourite was the champagne on the train) but other adventures didn't drive the plot forward and fell flat with me.
I nearly gave this book 2 stars as I really struggled to finish it and had to convince myself to pick it up again. However, I loved the author's telling of the story and how she seemed to poke fun at herself and the story. For this and because it made me smile, it gets 3 stars.
Overall, very cute and very fun at times but the editor should have been more ruthless with the cutting of non-essential parts to the story.
