The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag by Alan BradleyMy rating (this time): 4 of 5 stars
This was my second time through this book as well, and again, I enjoyed it. But as with my re-reading of its predecessor, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, I can't give it a second 5-star rating. It just didn't quite hold my interest as well this time through, and it seemed a little slow. I did listen to it via audio book this time, but the reader/actor who read it was absolutely one of the best voice actors I have ever heard (Jayne Entwistle), and so I'm reluctant to lay any blame at her feet.
It is still a favorite of mine, and I intend to revisit the whole series, since there are new books at the end that I haven't read yet, but it doesn't quite shine so brightly the second time through.
