Hilarious

Very funny with excellent writing and narration. There were many side characters but they were given the time and depth enough to be as interesting and important.

As is Expected

This is the 2nd installment of the Truly series. I thought the story delightful and witty. I was engaged from the beginning to the end. The main characters are well fleshed out and likable. Pippa Rathborne's narration is once again excellent. She makes the audio animation seem effortless. And I know this because after recording myself reading a paragraph of something which I wrote, which took many many many takes and it still was not acceptable. After my debacle, I have new found respect for the art of narration. It is not at all effortless or easy. And to make it seem so takes a very skilled craftsperson. Pippa Rathborne brings these character to life. She brings the art of nuanced performance to a higher degree. Brava!!!

Boring

Very disappointed. One of my favorite authors but this book is boring! Dull characters, dull story, silly premise.
