This would be a 4 stars if Lockwood and Lucy weren't so mean to George. I swear that every time George said something funny or did something smart it was undercut in the next paragraph by Lucy calling him fat or stupid or generally unpleasant, and even Lockwood joined in far too often for my taste.
If you disregard the fatphobia, this book was actually very funny and exciting. While the plot sagged a bit in the middle, it wasn't unpleasant, and the action near the end was so tense and fun that I didn't want to put the book down.
Unsure if I'll continue the series, but I'll definitely be watching the Netflix show. At least there George gets a break.
