I finished Munce Milrose and the Den of Professional Help by Douglas Anthony Cooper. It had a very good plot/storyline, but egads, it went on and on in spots. It's YA, but has some rather pretentious characters, so I'm not sure if some of the word choices would just make a young adult rather bored. Overall, a very good story; I wish it could have been tighter. I know the purpose was to drop subtle humor, puns and whatnot , but I did have to skim parts. I haven't the patience for all the subtle jokes/sarcasm; thus some paragraphs (while I'm sure they were quite clever) got skipped.
This book was highly recommended on several Amazon forum threads. It's a decent read and cute, and I think those who enjoy layers of jokes, and sort of a dense poking at status quo or authority would get even more out of it than I did.
