I'm trying to read this series in order so this is my third, the first 2 being good but not great, rating them both 3.5. This was a step up in my opinoin so I'm happy to give it 4 stars. The comedy in this book was rooted in overcoming adversity rather than incompetence as in the first 2,and as a result the plot was much better. The reoccurrence of secondary characters from the first 2 is very well done and sets up future books nicely. There're some problems though, otherwise it would be 5 stars. The first 3/4 of this book feel like the first book of a trilogy and in my opinoin should have been. The last section felt very rushed. When your main complaint is that it should have been longer you know it was a decent read.
