A Sea of Stars

The story felt forced, the characters flat, the burp jokes were getting very old (not to mention that I wouldn't let my little brother touch this book for fear of him burping non-stop for weeks), and it didn't have the same sense of fun and quirkiness as [b:Floors|10284337|Floors (Floors, #1)|Patrick Carman|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328838192s/10284337.jpg|15185747], despite both of them taking place at the wonderful and whimsical Whippet Hotel.

From where I stand, it appears to be one of those series that could have easily, and probably for the better, have stood alone.
