The Lightning-Struck Heart

Ugh. I loved the House in the Cerulean Sea, so when my book club decided to try another TJ Klune book, I was optimistic, but this? This is very far from HitCS. This is closer to Hearne/Dawson's Kill the Farm Boy series. Every line is a joke, or thinks it is a joke. Very few are funny. The characters are underdeveloped at best and flattened copies of other actually funny books/movies at worst. It's also over 400 pages long. 400 pages of anal sex jokes. 200 would have been stretching it to cover the plot. Sorry TJ, this series is not for me.
