Surrounded by Books

Make sure you have read the first one, as this one picks up where the first ends.And zooms really fast along, without catching you up much.All the things I really loved about The Name of the Star are still in place- in terms of the characters, and the really interesting way ghosts and spookiness work.And then... I was reading and reading and turning pages and there weren't any more pages to turn! But I have maddening questions, lots and lots of them.So, possibly a good idea to wait until you have the third book in hand, or you will read the last page, and say WHAAAAAAAAAAT???? really loudly in a subway car full of people who will be confused.
