I like it, but...
I loved the first novel. The second was pretty good, too. This one stumbles. The dialogue is snappy, but sometimes seems more focused on getting a laugh than maintaining the story. I also was bothered by how reckless it started and how badly the authorities handle...anything. I get how he is supposed to be the hero, but...
I will probably buy the next book, because it ^is^ clever and amusing. But, I will not recommend this book unless you truly enjoyed the puns and repartee.
