Mr. Monday is interesting enough but to really enjoy you have to continue the series. I love Garth Nix's books but I did find Mr. Monday a little less interesting than the rest of his books. I finished the book and didn't really feel inclined to start the next one but when I did I couldn't stop reading. I went from book to book until I finished Lady Friday which had just been released that week. I spent the full $17 at Borders because I couldn't wait for the paper back or for the cheaper version to ship from amazon. The reason Mr. Monday is kinda of slow compared to the others in the series is because it is setting up the series and characters. It's a lot of information that informs and confuses at the same time. Like most of Nix's book series if you don't read the entire series you don't get all the questions answered. My advice to those interested in this series is A) read further after finishing this book and B) For those of you who prefer to ready fantasy that is based in this reality but has a twist to it (like Vampires, Werewolves, Harry Potter, etc. ) then stay away from this series because it beyond your imagination
