We loved it - for the characters more than anything, so I have a feeling we'll still enjoy the sequel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-76695052321441111582008-10-07T14:27:00.000-05:002008-10-07T14:27:00.000-05:00I've had that happen to me many times: you wait an...I've had that happen to me many times: you wait and hear wonderful things, and when you finally get around to reading it, it's just not as good as you were expecting.<BR/><BR/>That said, I think I liked this one as much as the first... not better, but I don't think I liked the first one better, either.
