Sequel Not As Good As Original,
This review is from: Shoebag Returns (Library Binding)
"Shoebag Returns" is the sequel to "Shoebag". Although the sequel is a fun read, it is not as good as the original. The original was mainly about Shoebag and his hilarious cockroach family.
The sequel pushes Shoebag aside, making him a side character, which I didn't like. A new boy is the main character, but he does not possess the power to go from human to roach, and from roach to human. The sequel moves too much like the author is speeding thru the story, rather than telling it, and let it flow smoothly as she did in the first one. There are no fun spider characters for Shoebag and his family to be fearful of, although there is a tarantula character that has a good, small part in the story. I was upset that Shoebag's family was removed from the sequel too soon. As the pages got thinner, I realized they were not returning. That was a shame. The book leaves the door wide open for a third book, but as of January 2012, I'm unaware of another. |
