This was great fun. Such comedy and wit. An example:

May 25. - Carrie brought down some of my shirts and advised me to take them to Trillip’s round the corner. She said: “The fronts and cuffs are much frayed.” I said without a moment’s hesitation: “I’m ’FRAYED they are.” Lor! how we roared. I thought we should never stop laughing. As I happened to be sitting next the driver going to town on the ’bus, I told him my joke about the “frayed" shirts. I thought he would have rolled off his seat. They laughed at the office a good bit too over it.

Easily a B rating [4 stars].
Next is the 3rd book in the Monstrumology series
Isle of Blood by Rick Yancey. This so far has been a great YA thriller series. Almost too good to waste on the "young." The author is a former IRS tax collector who now writes horror full time.
