Hollow City

I love this one more than Book 1! The additional characters are magnificent. The familiar characters from book 1 are developed nicely. The plot is rather plodding, but it speeds up wonderfully at the end. This series is worth your time to read. You will fall in love with Jacob and the other peculiar children. There are hints as to the back story of the peculiar universe, but it does not drown the whole story. It does a great job of setting the stage for book 3.
