Title: Abysmally bad
Review: As others, I loved the series. As others, I have been disappointed in recent books. I read the reviews and determined not to buy this book. But my readerly affection for the Karp family - generated, I realize, mostly by Michael Gruber's tight and witty writing in the early part of the series - drew me in. What a mess. Stop, already, Mr. Tanenbaum - its over. In fact, it was over 2 or 3 books ago. This sloppy, boring mess of a novel was my last from you - I'm just sorry my friends Butch and Marlene and their extended family had to get caught up in it. Fini. Prospective readers, listen to the other reviewers: don't waste your time or your money! Let's not encourage Mr. Tanenbaum any further.
