Silver Bullet

How is it possible for a main character to get more wimpy, more helpless, more wishy-washy, more dumb? I dunno but Cesar is apparently talented enough to do just that. Everyone, and I mean everyone from the top the government food chain to the lowly sort of consultant seems to be smarter and more competent than him. And yet, he manages to bungle and crash his way through the story -with the help of a ridiculous sparkle bomb - and solve the mystery/rescue the kidnapped. And the whole Fritz thing at the end felt like it came out of nowhere. The book while maybe not the best plotted story - there may have been one too many paranormal creatures thrown at us - is a fluffy, fast read. I just wish it was a little more saltwater taffy and a little less cotton candy.

Except now I kinda want to read book 3. It only to see if the series/Cesar gets better or worse. It's like a train wreck.
