"This was like the two before it in terms of being stupidly hilarious! It is a great book to laugh out loud, as I did many times. Very random humor from cover to cover."
"Terrible Times, the last book out of three in Philip Ardagh's The Eddie Dickens Trilogy tells a fictional story about the humorous misadventures of Eddie Dickens on his voyage to America! The theme in this marvelous tale is anyone could be a hero. In this final sequence, Eddie sets sail to America with a mission on figuring out what has gone wrong in the offices of Terrible Times. But his voyage to America seems to be delayed by some misfortunes at Awful End. Yet soon enough young Eddie Dickens a boards the Pompous Pig in which he encounters Swags, a convict he met in Dreadful Acts not only that but he soon discovers Even Madder Aunt Maud had somehow sneaked on board. Eddie schemes up a plan to get her out of hiding; they will use the Dog's Bone Diamond to allure her but this being a story with misfortunes, one occurs at this moment and the precious jewel goes missing! The suspense gets higher as you soon come to find out Mad Uncle Jack and Mrs. Dickens come to the rescue and Lady Constance Bustle's (Eddie's companion on the voyage) reveals her true persona. Terrible Times was indeed an entertaining story. The thrills made it seem a roller coaster ride, though I can't explain for that would ruin the story. This book was very descriptive. Philip Ardagh has a way with details when it comes to informing his readers. I could visualize every event that happened especially with sketches provided within the pages. An issue this book relates to is how crimes can be conducted in secrecy but hopefully there is someone there to save the day. I would recommend Terrible Times for children who would want some sense of adventure if their bored and have nothing better to do. If you liked A Bad Beginning by Lemony snicket, you'll surely like this one because of the interesting plot followed in this book. Overall, this book was cool and a good read."
