A review by bookworm_630
The Murdstone Trilogy by Mal Peet

3.0

3 stars for the first 2/3. I'm guessing this is a lot like movies that skewer Hollywood...the people in that business get all the obscure humor, in-jokes, and caricatures but the rest of us blink and wonder what's so funny. It was a quick read and I did enjoy the first 2/3, before it sunk into terrible bleakness.
