The fact that Edgar's raven is names Quoth also bothers me, because the one in 'The Raven' didn't have a name, it was just simply the raven. Why couldn't it have been the Ether? Instead of the ether? I don't know why, but that bothered me. Lastly, I didn't like how things were named, like the ether for instance.

Even at the end of the book I still didn't like her, but not as much as I had when I had first started reading. I get that she's supposed to be angry, but stabbing your own uncle when all he's trying to do is talk to you? That's just rude. I can't really relate to her that much, and was a little annoyed, especially when she tried to break Mort's arm and stabbed him with a stick. I didn't like her, not at the beginning of the book, nor half way through. It just confused me a little.Aside from that, there was only one other thing. So I couldn't really get over the idea of being some sort of rock or something that had an indention that the scythe came from.

I image them as Grim Reapers scythes as shown on the front cover. Things I didn't like about the book: There's only a few things I didn't like about the book, but they kind of hindered my reading experience a little bit. I loved all of the buildings and how descriptive they were presented. I especially loved Edgar being in the book, along with the presidents, but I loved Edgar being there the most. Mort was hilarious and so was Driggs and everyone else.

The description had made me want to read it, because, I mean, who doesn't find the idea of being a Grim cool? You get a cool jacket, a scythe, and you get to live in the awesome town of Croak, scything into the ether and releasing and collecting souls! These are the reasons why I loved the book: First of all, the humor. (I loved the Chronicles of Vladimir Tod series by Heather Brewer and this seemed sort of similar.) Sadly, after reading the book, I felt it didn't really give off the same impression as the description had given me. I found this book on Amazon, and after reading the description on what it was all about, I really wanted to read it.
