This book was slow-going for me. It took me so long to care about these characters and I almost gave up.

This book is obviously not for everyone based on the other reviews. It is not to be taken too seriously. In fact, maybe not to be taken seriously at all. I thought it was hilarious and fun throughout. The secondary  characters are hilarious. The actual mystery was not bad. I found myself saying through laughter "it's so stupid" many times. It was the perfect light, quick read for me at the time I read it. I didn't give it five stars because there were a few moments that didnt make sense or were not how I would have done it where I had to switch off and tell myself "it's still funny."

I hated it. I found ONE character somewhat likable. The rest I didn't like and the book overall was not good...or maybe just not for me.
