This was definitely the funniest book in the series so far... but also one of the darkest. True laugh out-loud moments!

I don't know if I should label these as children's books anymore. They seem oddly graphic to be for kids, but a lot of the themes and situations are still suitable for that age range. It's not really a complaint, it just seems to be an odd choice.

The one thing that I really didn't like were the Scrapegrace and Thrasher chapters. I didn't find them funny, just really annoying and I found it frustrating that they distracted from the main story. Please just kill them off already Landy, please.
