C10A: Punner? I don't even know her! [SPOILERS]

After procrastinating for a few months I finally finished reading Callahan's Lady. Lots of spoilers ahead!

I was enjoying the ruse the Professor and Sherry had going, it had me giggling a few times, imagining Sherry waddling around with a pillow under her shirt.

I had the hardest time understanding Tony Donuts dialogue, so I think I only got a vague gist of what he was trying to say in every conversation.

I really enjoyed when they were scamming Mrs. Willoughby and they both grew a conscience because they liked her so much.

I was on the edge of my seat wondering how they would get Tony the money he asked for (which by the way...I didn't understand why Tony was so upset at getting genuine money instead of his genuine fake money.).

The ending totally threw me!

It almost seemed like the author ran out of ways to be clever in the book and decided to introduce some ancient creatures with mystical powers as a way to tie everything up nicely.

I'm a bit torn about how it ended, I loved most of the book , with the exception of 'The Paranoid'. On one hand the ending was a bit of a cop-out, because it didn't feel like there was the same ingenuity shown throughout the rest of the book. On the other hand, it makes me want to read more about Lady Sally and Mike, what they are, and where they came from.

The final line of the book contained an awful pun, which makes it hard to think anything but happy thoughts about it. Anything with a pun that bad deserves to sit on my bookshelf and be admired.
