Anyway, if you like vampires, fantasy, magic, and a laugh-ou-loud mess of a road trip, I have no idea why you haven't picked this book up yet. I don't often read books in half a day, but when I do, it's because Rainbow Rowell wrote them (and by that, I mean, they're very good). This book was was just as fantastic as I thought it would be (very fantastic). Gging him on holiday to America, and like anything Simon does, he gets into tons of trouble. So now, his boyfriend and best friend are dra. So that's where the story ends, right? Yeah, Simon Snow has never felt so useless. He's got a lovely little group of friends. I hung my head and said it was mid-October and. Randell asked me why did you leave this backpack, and why did you leave without saying goodbye. He fought the bad guy, no, he fought two bad guys. This book was a chronicle of the roads I traveled. Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to. WARNING THIS MIGHT HAVE SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST BOOK SO READ THAT FIRST IF YOU CARE

Bonus point for being able to write fairly convincing English characters, and a high quota of jokes. It somehow read like an episode of Angel rather than her traditional and rather good Harry Potter fanfic, so I hope there'll be a third book where they get back to wizard-bothering. Still, this was decent enough as the next instalment in the Simon Snow story.

Rainbow Rowell is terrific at letting her characters have Huge Important Feelings and there weren't enough of them for my liking here - the protagonist gets to be depressed for about two pages and then has to get on with the plot for the next 300.
