Negative Positive
Title: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
Review: I'll try to keep it simple... If you have read other books in this series, I can only guess (based on the other reviews) that you will enjoy this book. If this is your first stab at the series (like me) save your time. Most of the book is spent going to dinners, parties and meetings with characters from past books. If you've read them, I'm sure this will be a treat. If you haven't, you might prefer sticking long splinters under your fingernails. When finally something interesting happens, everyone has to return to the house, meet an old friend from some previous adventure, and spend the next twenty pages discussing it. This book became much more enjoyable (and interesting) once I discovered I could skip these parts. Skim it. It's worth maybe 145 of its 430 pages.
