Greedy Pigs

Trying to knock down this reading slump I'm in by reading more novellas, and this one seemed like a really good place to start :D. But man, Wallace sure knows how to drive the stakes ever higher in this series. There aren't a lot of laugh-out-loud moments in this instalment, but it's still pretty funny in a lot of places. It's just...IDK. I think the stakes have gotten so high at this point that I'm really more worried about what's going to happen to the characters, instead of all the funny things that are happening. Makes me kind of worried about what's going to happen in the next novella in the series. Don't get me wrong: this is still a very good read, it just isn't as funny as the first few ones have been. Which again, I guess makes sense, given how high the stakes are now.

On a happier note: I think Wallace has a tendency to have certain people make “special guest appearances” in this series, and this book is no exception. Given the cover, I think you can guess who makes that appearance.
