@Gurgy I got Hard Luck too, hopefully it's good since the last book was kind of a disappointment.

If not, I'll stick to the Middle School series, if James Patterson actually decides to keep it up. It's hilarious, but actually kind of depressing if you think about a lot of the themes. There's abusive parents, really interesting and complex backstories (Especially relating to Rafe's real dad, who left his mother after their second son died, and went to war and got killed), and I'm pretty sure Rafe himself is either schizophrenic, or just insane in general.

And yet it took multiple reads for me to actually realize how messed up the books are, especially considered the light-hearted tone they pass off.

@JS Can't get it to you yet, as I can't find my 3DS charger, but as soon as I find it, I'll get it to you.
