*** 3 stars
Enjoyed reading this although not quite as much as the first two by this author. It seems long, I guess. I'm not sure that the many, many snippets of the story within the story (the Simon Snow stuff) added much. It was kind of a clever but obvious parody of Harry Potter but it mainly seemed to serve to draw out the story.
I thought the characters were so charming and touching. Rowell does such a good job with awkward and quirky people. Cath and her dad were particularly well done and if Levi seemed too good to be true, well, I'm actually okay with that.
Another fun, warmhearted read from Rowell. Looking forward to getting my hands on Landline next!
