This book is my favorite book this year. I loved the action, the drama, the romance and the characters. It was also fun to listen to it during school during my library hour. I remember most of this book even though it has taken me a month to read this. I really wish that there was a third one because this book ended on a cliffhanger. I would have started screaming at my poor little iPod if it wasn't 11;30 at night when I finished this book.
Will finish soon

Perhaps in printed form, the footnotes wouldn't be so bothersome. But in audiobook form, I find them annoying.

Love the novels of this series, good fun - great heroine. Good read for the early pre-teen YA reader in the steampunk genre. (There is also a graphic novel series - Girl Genius, but I haven't read those).

Enjoyed this even more than the first Agatha H book.

How is it that a novelization of a graphic novel I'd already read still compelled me at a fast clip through 461 pages? The romance between Agatha and Lars is so sweet and believable. He is a good first love. Sigh.
Things are revealed here that aren't in the GNs. In book one, we learned Dupree's family was mysteriously killed. In this book, we can infer who did it.
Who is the baron's long lost wife? When did Gil learn he was the baron's son? Did Gil and Dupree have an affair in Paris?

This second book in this series was far more enjoyable to me than the first. I laughed out loud many times, enjoyed the plot and the characters, and truly appreciated the writing style. The comical footnotes were also a great addition!

I didn't realize it was 515 pages when I reserved it from the library. This story continues immediately following book 1 and it was a fun ride. Lots of originality, humor and surprises. Foglio kept me guessing (incorrectly) throughout the book. I preferred book 1 probably because at the time for me it was new and fresh. I'll wait before starting book 3.

Adventure! Romance! Giant holograms in revealing dresses!
Like the first Girl Genius novelization, [b:Agatha H and the Airship City|9874196|Agatha H and the Airship City (Girl Genius)|Phil Foglio|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1291998058s/9874196.jpg|14765901], this book is a page for page novelization of the graphic novel. Like it's predecessor, it's not as good for a novel as the comic is for a web comic, but that's a incredibly high bar. The novelization gives insight into the characters and plot that just don't work as well in a graphic novel. For fans of Girl Genius, this novel is a must-read supplement.

Too long, too many groups of people to try to keep track of, and a difficult time trying to decide who was a bad guy. I mean I know that's a thing, but it was a bit too convoluted. And I don't even know where the title came from.
Note: some of my dislike may be because I had to listen at normal speed; I'm in the habit of listening at about 1.5 speed, so this felt a little like everyone was talking in slow motion.
