Really enjoying reading this series to my child. She and I both have a similar dark sense of humor and that fits well with these books.

The villain's scheme is more abstract and less gross than in the first one which is much appreciated.

Already started on the next one. I feel like we're going to blow through the whole series this year.

We’ve been reading these with our kids and we’ve all been enjoying them so far! The nature of this series is quite dark but so far they haven’t been too upsetting for our 8 and 11 year old kids.

I forgot how quick these are to read....and realized how the writing style isn't really my thing anymore.

I liked this one a bit more than the first one I think. The writing style and humor is my favorite part. Plus this one had slightly less ableism, transphobia and pedophilia, but that’s about it.

I know this series is obviously purposefully ridiculous, but it’s so frustrating how oblivious all the adults are. I know that’s the point. I get it. But I hate it. I know this story isn’t supposed to be taken seriously at all but it BOTHERS ME lol

maybe it’s just my autism being uncomfortable with the chaos and miscommunication idk.

And they keep calling venomous snakes poisonous
