Oh! What a charmingly hilarious and yet remarkably creepy book! I absolutely adored this book! My only complaints are that it is too short and I want to know when the sequel hinted at will be published! I loved the characters! And it was absolutely laugh-out-loud funny in parts! It was so much fun to read that I can only hope Connolly had half as much writing it! I just loved it - the imagery, the style of the book, the dialogue... And the great anticipation that I had for it did not in any way diminish my enjoyment of the book, as so often happens with awaited-for novels. It was just terrific. I enjoyed everything about it - it was just so unique and charming!
