I'm in the middle of it, but while it's a better mystery, I think, it's less engaging in a lot of ways.

I had a message from Chris Grabenstein recently saying Mind Scrambler
may be the final Ceepak. It seems it isn't selling well and the
publisher is balking. I'm sad because I like Grabenstein's books, but
MS was awfully dark with little of his trademark humor to lighten it.
Atlantic City was less appealing than Sea Haven as a setting, too.

I'm revisiting Chris Grabenstein's John Ceepak novels because the

I love the characters. Ceepak is so Dudley Doright and Danny is such a sweet kid. The story didn't matter so much for me except to help develop the characters....
Well, I just finished "Tilt-a-Whirl". It was entertaining and I enjoyed it. I may eventually listen to another of his books but no plans for that at present....
I'm in the middle of Mind Scrambler right now - it's very good. darker than the others, it seems, but very good. Poor Danny keeps having to grow up bit by...

partly yes, it's because the narration is perfect - Jeff Woodman nails the character of Danny Boyle. and partly I like them because the structure of the plot...
... I agree too, and think I know why, at least for me. "Mind Bender" is dark and sad. The less happy Ceepak is, the less happy I am. I'm glad I read the...
