Not the Best...

This book was OK, but not as good as I hoped. There were a few slight changes that the author made, which kind of confused me. Well, in the story, there's a villian named Outback Jack, and his sidekick is a sock puppet. (Not so original, considering that Awful Alvin, another villian in some other books, has a lamp as a side kick). There's a file they steal from the newspaper office that tells them about treasure map on the face of a clock. But, at the beginning of the book, Larry is called Lawrence once. Not that I don't like the name, but the nickname Larry seems to make more sense for him. Also, the author played around with Larryboy's secret identity (Or secret identities in this book) which confused me a lot. This book is good. I read it sometimes. It's just that the other books in this series seem to make more sense than this one. Most things are much different in this one than in the others.
