This is a lot darker than I expected.

Getting quite good, especially with all the references to racial tension.

Good so far - not sure why she's not replying to letters; maybe Chanu was hiding them?

Feels very different to previous titles with the very real threat of real pirates. And also racist.

The book seems to be turning into a romance - I was expecting something nasty to happen to Robert.

Not going quite as I expected. Apart from him losing his backpack, it's taken a complely different turn with him getting a job as a tutor.

I'm guessing the American stranger will turn out to be bad news. I just want to find out what he'll do.

Great stories so far about his experiences with tribespeople and the effects his ministry had.

Good start and I liked ths story of how started to like flying.

Enjoying this so far - now he's rescued the girl, I want to see what happens next. Makes me think of Taxi Driver.

I already think I know who is behind it all - there did seem to be one obvious hint early on

Not that much happening - writing is good though.

So, as I get it, Scout (Jean Louise) is upset because Atticus is associating himself with a racist guy. I'm not sure where this will go.

A bit weird to see the narrative is third person and not first person like the original. I wonder if there was a reason?

Mostly new characters - I think Tom was in Coot Club. No sign of Dick or Dorothea yet.

Having The Final Problem in the middle of the book was a bit strange - followed of course by The Empty House.

The Adventure of the Speckled Band is one of my favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.

I barely remember any of this...

Becoming more engaging now that I know more about who the characters are.

Every narrator so far is an inanimate object. Okay...

I've read most of these before, but I forgot most of what happened.

Just as I thought they weren't going to appear, Nancy and Peggy showed up - glad to see them again after they didn't appear in the last book.

Good to see them finally taking Bridget on their adventure with them.

Some of my predictions are coming true. Amazing that I've almost seen half a century of their lives!

My guess is that the seemingly perfect version of reality will not end happily at all, despite them being married.

The Adventure of the Gloria Scott was a story within a story within a story!

Enjoying this so far; the Adventures of the Yellow Face and the Resident Patient were new to me.

I wasn't too surprised at which character has just shown up.

I'm assuming the Amazons aren't going to appear at all in this, although they get mentioned a few times. This is definitely the most peril that has been shown yet in the book series. I think it will be Roger that goes overboard in the next chapter.
