Read from July 01 to 16, 2010

I love this series so much that I pre-ordered this book from London and had it shipped from the British chapter of Amazon.com. That said, it didn't disappoint in the least; rather, it exceeded my expectations. I had to force myself not to read it too quickly, in order to savor its many pleasures. It reminded me of receiving am amazing chocolate bar, and taking small nibbles to draw out the enjoyment, while wanted desperately to eat the whole thing in one sitting. And now that I'm finished, what possibly could I read next that will compare?

This book may be the funniest yet in the series, and includes payoffs for my favorite characters, Bertie, Matthew, Domenica, Angus and Cyril. I won't say what I mean by payoffs, so as not to spoil the fun when you read it yourself.
