This book is kind of boring, self-important, and completely humorless, but it is also essentially a really good story. I'll probably end up reading the other books in the series too, as I want to know how the story ends.
I didn't like this book at all. Almost all of the characters were intolerable, hateful, and selfish. It seems to bill itself as a comedy, but nothing even close to funny happens until the last two chapters or so.
