Further brain candy. I cannot get enough of these characters. Love it!
This series is so...funny. It's like listening to a soap opera set in 1970s San Francisco. I am so seriously entertained by this, and I'm not sure I should be.
I think my favorite part of this is how dated everything is. Set in San Francisco in the late 1970s and written in the late '70s, I received an interesting glimpse at a time period I was not around for. This is definitely NOT a plot driven book, as it was originally serialized in a newspaper. Don't read it if you expect anything to happen. I kind of felt like I was watching a soap opera from the era. Well, with a lot less action. This takes a certain mood-I'm getting a little tired of stressing myself out over "what happens next", so this was a nice break.
Ce deuxième volume est aussi jouissif que le premier, les révélations fusent et le suspens est bien rythmé. Les personnages sont toujours aussi attachants, les dialogues jubilatoires, rendant la lecture particulièrement drôle.
