A review by amibunk
Horton Halfpott: Or, the Fiendish Mystery of Smugwick Manor; Or, the Loosening of m'Lady Luggertuck's Corset by Tom Angleberger

3.0

At times this fast paced, flight of fancy chapter book tries to be 'too' clever, especially in the beginning. Towards the middle of the book, the author evens out his writing and the plot becomes quite enjoyable. This book would be a fun read aloud with the wildly flamboyant characters portrayed inside. I'd say the target audience of this book would be fourth grade children or higher and the lucky adults who realize how awesome children's books are.
