Best of the 3 in my opinion, but somehow even more ridiculous than the other two but still very compelling.  What a time it was reading these... anyway now I know why everyone talks about this series and my curiosity is satisfied

This book is, not unlike the full series, not very good objectively, but it's so fun. The characters are funny and interesting and lovable, and there are a lot of missed opportunities when it comes to cool scenes that could have happened and should have happened but that's what fanfiction is for!
