I was very impressed with the first book and was laughing throughout at the many jokes, puns, weird metaphors. The witty humor of Atticus is great fun to read. I also enjoyed the well-rounded story told in the first book.

The second book has two weaknesses:
- several subplots are open-ended, the story has taken off and turned into a series, this makes for a less fulfilling story experience.
- some of the running gags are a bit stale by now. The humor feels forced in places, a bit less would be totally fine.

But it is still a very enjoyable, easy read for a relaxing Sunday afternoon. And I've already started the third book.
