Nayu's thoughts
Despite
Louis not being a girl (I relate better to female characters) I
absolutely loved this latest book in the series. I've read at least
1 other and this one is so funny because Louis has no chance on a
lot of the tricks he tries. *shakes head* His mega crazy plans land
him and others in more than a bit of trouble, but he does everything
in his power to reverse his parents' seemingly awful decision. It all
works out in the end though, with many twists that I wasn't sure how
they happened, he definitely has the universe on his side!
I was sad
that Maddy is unfortunately on a different continent, because it mean she couldn't be quite as active as she normally is in Louis' life, however she finds a way because she is Maddy! Quite a force to be reckoned with. A perhaps unexpected ally is found in Louis's
brother, who helps him out in his latest scheme, providing an enviable
meltdown over an object which I'm eager to reread because it was so funny (and actually believable). Louis manages to
make a new friend of sorts, even if Louis did totally abuse Edgar to
get around his parents which was a part of him I didn't like, he manages to do the right thing eventually.
I'm sure many readers will relate to part of
Louis's plight, remembering when their own parents took actions that they thought unfair and unncessary- the story made me smile a lot because of all the
melodrama. I wonder what the next book will bring!
