This was a lot of fun! Operation Bounce House shares a *lot* of DNA with DCC. The humor, character voices, pacing and action scenes could all be mistaken from being taken directly out of it. The premise itself is about 80% similar to DCC. The former is just how Dinniman writes, and fair enough, but the latter I think is slightly to the book's detriment. I simply wasn't as drawn and bought into the premise of this book as I was DCC1, which made OBH feel like a watered down version of it.
But after a decent chunk, I think the story found its footing. I got attached to the characters, and I really liked how the story came together in the last 100 pages. If you like DCC, you will likely enjoy this a fair amount. If you don't like DCC, you almost certainly won't like this either.
