This one was considerably less ridiculous, so I was able to finish it. Even though Max is a great friend and had his funny moments, he practically had ADHD and I could not keep up with this thought process and actions. A lot of what the characters did was totally unnecessary, and I could tell it was only there to get a laugh. I guess if you like slapstick comedy and nonsense like that, then you'd enjoy a book like this. I don't know if I'll give this author another try since I'm basically 0 for 2.
