Book: The Unusual Suspects (Sisters Grimm 2) by Michael Buckley
What I remember (may include spoilers): I just decided to format my reread posts this way, so I'm writing what I remember when I'm halfway through the book. In the future, I'll write it before hand, because I think this will be fun. And funny. I always think I have a better memory than I actually do.
From what I remember, the sisters Grimm go to school and there is a mystery involving monsters and kids of everafters. It ties in to reasons why the everafters hate the Grimms. Puck annoys Sabrina (it is hilarious) and the book ends on a major cliffhanger.
Thoughts on the reread: There are monsters, Puck annoys Sabrina, and the book ends on a major cliffhanger. Other than that, the things I really noticed were that these books put the main characters into really dangerous situations. I hadn't really thought about it before (and I still enjoy it), but the two main kids are subjected to monsters, reckless driving, ropes instead of seatbelts, and a bomb.
The book also deals with Sabrina's predjudice against EverAfters. I think it is a realistic reaction to her parent's being kidnapped and Buckley handles it well. It might be a good talking point for parents to discuss real life predjudice with their kids.
Overall: A great sequel, the characters are likeable and funny, the plot fast-paced. The book stands well on its own, but also ties in to the series plot well. I love this series. It's great.
Reading Challenges: This book counts toward the following challenges: 290 pages for the 15,000 page challenge, Support Your Local Library, and Read Me Baby One More Time. Track all my progress on my 2012 Challenges page.

ReplyDeletethanks for visiting my blog anyone who enjoys vodka as much as i do is someone i MUST meet at BEA! let's stay in touch.
These books sound really fun! I can't wait to read them some day! And I love the addition of including what you remembered to see if it was different from the actual books! You should do that for all your rereads!
ReplyDeleteI agree, writing down what I thought happened before I reread the books would've been fantastic. In fact, I'm pretty sure I remembered the Master as being someone else. I guess I'll know for sure by the end of #7. That's kind of a big thing to misremember!!
ReplyDeleteit sounds pretty cute. Even if kids are thrown into dangerous situations. LOL.
