Title: An unpleasant aftertaste.
Product review: A continuation from the utter delight that is the first book; how could it go wrong? I'm still baffled with just how wrong it went.The feel between the two books is the difference between fine spices and more salt on your fast food fries. The characters were flat and returning personalities were almost insultingly out of character. I felt myself ripped back from the pages on multiple occasions exclaiming 'That's not Fiver!'The book feels as though a list was created first of generic 'after school special' themes, then a story written forcibly around them. Rather than feeling a certain way about the issues, you are told to feel that way.I have a hard time accepting that this what even created by the same author.A note to those who loved the first:Just avoid it. Seeing more of their lives is enticing I know, but you'll wish you'd taken a skip at the end. My mind is still hitting ctrl-z for the last couple hours I spent with it.
