Strongly suggest reading 1☆ and 2☆ GR reviews before reading this book DNF, DNR, and Do Not Recommend There was no humor, nor laugh out loud moments. To quote Ten Cats Reading, a GR reviewer: "This book contains very little descriptive writing. It's mostly dialogue and summary of action." This is why I didn't like the book But hey, you can watch the series, somebody would have to rewrite it, yes?
