Too convoluted to handle, more even than Alice Through the Looking-Glass (not a fan, sorry), which it constantly references. Made mostly of dialogueâ€”a bunch of talking heads, vomiting random words (some of them in French, with no translation to be had), for some 200 pages...

Waited for it to become comprehensible.

It didnâ€˜t.

What a disappointment.

1.0/5

eol The score is so low probably because I‘m still angry about it. Because I liked the first volume (which fortunately works as a standalone, so at least there‘s that). 13mo

so-so

April 2021 - urban fiction - ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. It was full of cringeworthy stereotypes and some of the characters were over the top and I absolutely loved it. It made me giggle and smile and basically look like a dork while this silly story was read to me.

So, I probably shouldn't admit that I have absolutely no recollection of having read this book in 2008. No matterâ€”it was a delightful cozy mystery starring a UCLA film archivist who buys an old movie theater in desperate need of renovation, in which he finds a lost movie . . . and a skeleton.

bailed

After the third POV switch the third chapter in, I am deciding this is not the book for me. I have no idea what the fuck is going on and I am not intrigued enough to keep going and find out.

Beachesnbooks How did you feel about the first book? Was this one a lot worse? I liked Agents of Dreamland but am on the fence about trying this one 6y

CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @Beachesnbooks Wait, this is a second book in a series??? That would explain a lot! 6y
