Changes

Still, to the book's credit remains the sense of humour, which once again is spread between 'oh that's why that was mentioned, like 300 pages ago' call-backs and witty, blunter one-liners. The strength of the writing is still there, and is still sustained to the end – and even with the sketchy illustrations this book is certainly not as short as some of its ilk. There is no sense of this series ending, even with a slight yet pronounced drop in novelty and craft, especially with the ending as given here, but I do have to hope one new element to the tale will not feature greatly in future. This wraps my thoughts up, then – the fact I am still thinking of a future where I read this series, even if it has taken a step away from greatness and a stride towards mediocrity. The adept comedy and the fact this type of story just isn't nearly available enough for this age bracket, does make me intrigued as to where the blog will take us.

The series began [[The Private Blog of Joe Cowley by Ben Davis|here]]. The same audience will enjoy the voice – and circumstances – within [[Denton Little's Deathdate by Lance Rubin]].
