Eddie Dickens

Finished the first book in the trilogy. It's in the same vein as A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snickett. (Bad things happening to mostly good children, with a highly developed sense of the ridiculous.) I hadn't finished the first book in the Snickett, but I decided to take a chance on Eddie.

I'm glad I did. It's not quite as relentless as Unfortunate Events and is a good deal funnier. It's frothy, and fun, and I read it in the half hour it took my mechanic to take off the gravel guard from the truck.

When I finally get out of the house, I think I'll pick up the other two books in the series.
