4,5 stars!
BR with Sofia, Rosa, Smith and Otila.
As I turned the last page of The Perils of Praline, I was sure that this book could cause only two kinds of reactions:

This book is definitely hilarious and silly and so damn quotable. I do think it would have been better if it were shorter, though. There's just so much we can take of our "perpetually hormonal hero".

He takes Hollywood by storm and creates havoc. Praline bounces from one adventure to another with his mantra "Everything happens for the best" always on his lips (reminds you of Pollyanna, doesn't it) and learns a few things about ...more
