Journal Entry 2 by ApoloniaX at For My Birthday Buddy!, A RABCK -- Controlled Releases on Sunday, March 27, 2011
Thank you for this wishlist book, along with another wishlist book, the birthday book, that really cute small birthday mug and the yummy looking chocolates :)
I hate it when wishlist books turn out to be a disappointment! This sounds and looks so exciting but it just falls flat :( It's the way the story is told. The main charaters are all good, interesting ones and the setting is lovely it's just meh. I spent most of this book flicking to the back to see how many pages I had left and although I didn't hate it. I was glad when it was over. I will not be returning to Horatio Lyle take 2.

Thank you very much for sharing this book, I really enjoyed it!:) Even the fantasy bits didn't bother me though usually they are not really my cup of tea... Only I expected more from the ending, in my opinion it was the weakest part of the book.
This book will travel onwards as soon as I manage to get to the post office:)
