Query: I tried to like it, I really did...

I was so excited about this book. I absolutely adored Alice in Bed, I figured, 'Great, the saga continues'! But, no it didn't continue, it stopped dead. What happened to Schine's entertaining sarcasm and wit? It's replaced with a sloppy writing style and silly pages containing lists of birds! I could barely read this book. I kept wondering where the Alice that I fell in love with went. Louis was an annoying yet endearing character in the first installment, but now he seems to be bordering on some benign lunacy! I didn't like anyone anymore! A very big disappointment.
