It's hard not to laugh along while reading this book aloud. Even though it was written about 60 years ago it is still a great book.

I really wanted to enjoy this book after reading The Shadow in the Wind, which was a 5 star book, however it let me down. I was confused at the various plots and the ending left me puzzled. The first part held my interest and I thought it had potential, but near the end I had to almost force myself to finish the book. However, his writing style and words flowed nicely. I also enjoyed the similar hints with the bookstore from The Shadow in the Wind.
