I liked book 3 a bit better than book 2, with a paring down of the number of characters, it seems, and some resolutions. William and Freddie are still the anchor, I think, but both Berthea and Terrance got their shot. The only downstairs roomate this time was Caroline and she seems to have stopped pining for James, thankfully. Dee was kind of resolved in book 2 and gone, so maybe this will be a trend. Oedipus was back, albeit briefly and not in full unpleasantness sail, but I am curious how that story-line will develop or peter out. Barbara and Rupert, and Hugh and the yeti, seem to moving along too. So a pleasant several hours (I waited until the book was complete on the website) with a resultant bit more interest, this time around, in what the future holds for the characters.
