The tone is completely off (the dialogue in the Belden family is much too treacly) and I just can't stand it. I like the character of Dan Mangan, but I abhor this book. I wish they had introduced him in a better book!TimKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06686860077733235048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887611976174504593.post-70368429469594402252010-10-08T01:48:18.542-05:002010-10-08T01:48:18.542-05:00ooh i recently found this one at a library (and it...ooh i recently found this one at a library (and it's massively overdue. Next time I walk into that place, police alarm bells are going to go off =_=")<br />Actually, I must say it reconciled me to Dan. I think it was nice, bringing a person with such a different background into the story, showing that redemption was possible. I didn't like Dan before, I'd always seen him as an intruder, but I do like Dan now. He seems to fit right in with the Bob-Whites, courageous, good-humoured (though he started off on the wrong foot) and admirable like them all.<br />It's a nice, homey story. Another Bob-White project, they're pretty fun. My only nitpick with this one was that they didn't talk more about the icecarnival! I would've LOVED to hear more about it!Connoisseuresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546346288580791980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887611976174504593.post-49482304600640085022010-06-16T05:18:35.210-05:002010-06-16T05:18:35.210-05:00I love cheesy successes!

My favourite is Honey all the way, I read the excerpt about Brian and Mart schmoozing up to Honey and it's hilariousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
