Book the Second

This librarithon is rapidly becoming a read-a-thon. I just finished my second book of the day, a little piece called Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians. I've always neglected this book because of its mind-bogglingly bad cover design.

Ugh. /shudder/

Anyway, it was really great. In fact, it's the sort of book that should have been written by Linsey Duncan, that kind of funny and random and smart. Here's my review of it from my List of Everything I've Read this Year:

You have to feel good about a book that never spells pterodactyl the same way twice. And a book where the narrator admits to lying to you. Often. And one that makes a fake ending for those who skip to the end. A fine youth offering in the tradition of Terry Pratchet meets Lemon Snicket. A lot of qualifications in it. The sort of book, really, that ought to have been written by Linsey Duncan.

Mmm, what now? I might actually get some work done, although, honestly, there's time enough for that in days to come. It's library time.

I actually liked the second one better: Alcatraz versus the Scrivener's Bones. The first one was a little too weird and wacky for me to get into at first, but by the second I'd gotten the hang of it and the story seemed more fun.
