Right now i'm reading 'Spot's Helpful Day', it's quite good and far better than the clichéd 'Spot's Noisy Walk' which i thought used far too many gimmicky story arcs and never quite emulated the thrill and mystery of 'Where's Spot'. In 'Spot's Helpful Day' you really get to see more of the darker side of Spot and you also get some interesting insights into what motivates him on a personal level. Spot comes accross somewhat morose at times in what is often a tale of unbridled hatred directed towards those that sought to persecute him in 'Spots Noisy Toybox', for example; on the first page we find spot plotting to murder the creator of the toybox that was so intollerably noisy in the previous book, some of the imagery cunjoured up can at once be both sickening and beautiful. The climax of the story on page eight is simply unputdownable, i wont go into details but lets just say i am eagerly awaiting the next installment with baited breath!
10/10
