I have previously reviewed the first book in a previous post. I ordered the second book and started reading it a few days ago.
The new book in the series Spud, The Madness Continues is interesting. The first book became famous because of its humour and it was rip-roaringly funny. It was an okay book. The sequel (or continuation really) is not nearly as funny, though it's still quite humorous, is a much better book. Spud, our hero, finally is not a spud. He still got girl troubles and there's far more mayhem but it's not so funny. But it's good.
Like the first book, I'm not sure I'd recommend this book to American audiences if you're not familiar with British English and customs. It's going to be a rough ride otherwise.
Seeing Harry Potter the 18th with Jace and Grant and am very excited. Been too long. I have no shout-outs today.
A special "piss off" to BMW corporate who called and pretty much doesn't care what the dealer does but they'll put a note in the system. That is so helpful. After I get my tire fixed there this weekend (warranty) I'm going to find a new dealer even though I'll have to drive further.
And double "piss off" to DirecTV. I got a replacement receiver for the one that fried. Sent overnight and for free which is great. So you have to activate it after arrival. Their activation system has been down for two days. They have no back up, so I have a brand new working receiver that gets channel 100 and 200 and nothing else. (And this receiver doesn't handle RF remotes which makes me unhappy, but that's a minor detail.)
As for the new meds I'm taking (Celebrex and Lidoderm) I wish to report the Lidoderm is worthless and I am now out $50. The Celebrex isn't helping my neck much but it's certainly pissing off my stomach and making me gain weight rapidly.
