This is really hard for me to rate...

On the one hand, I did enjoy this book very much. But on the other...well, I guess you could say it didn't live up to my expectations. The first book, The Candy Shop War, was SO GOOD. The beginning started off a little slow, but then the ending picked up and it went crazy from there. But a good kind of crazy. :)
In this book...I don't know. It just didn't shine in comparison to the first book. I felt like the ending was a little too well put. It seemed way too easy compared to what they had to go through in the first! And there were some unanswered questions, so, that stinks. :P But, all in all, it was a pretty fun, exciting read.
