The "Curse of the Spellmans" was very similar to "The Spellman Files"- so highly recommended for those who enjoyed the first book, but do not read if you disliked the first book.

Again, this was a quick read which had some really funny parts that made me laugh out loud, although it also had its flaws. Unfortunately, I must say that the conclusion to the mystery was once again disappointing, because the case seemed initially fascinating and exciting, but it turned out that the truth was neither of those things. However, I am able to somewhat overlook the ending because I enjoyed the rest of the book.

I am able to call this a four-star review because I really did have fun while reading, but I am hoping so much for a more satisfying mystery element in the third installment. Lisa Lutz seems to have writing humor down pat, but I am now hoping for more excitement. That would just make the book complete and perfect!

I know that for many of the people who might have given this book bad reviews, their reasons might be that there are grammatical errors, or plot flaws, or other things that make it "not quality literature." However, I think I would respond to that by saying that that's not what this book was meant to be, anyway. So, with that in mind, I WOULD STILL RECOMMEND IT!
