SMART ASS is the second book in The SPARK Files and it is just as good as the first. It also covers the same (ish) time period, so I definitely recommend you read Book 1 before this one.

Now then, Smart Ass. We met Ben in Evan and Quincy's story, but now we really get to know him. Him and Max. What a couple they are! Max is what is known as a Knowledge - a Spark without a body. Max is nothing if not inventive though and manages to make things work as is, much to Ben's delight. I loved reading about how their relationship worked, and the questions they both had, whilst neither of them gave up on the other. That last message? Gah, killed me!

This is not as light and fluffy as Garbage was, but it's absolutely amazing in its own right! I love that it was different and I really REALLY can't wait to see what comes next. Garbage was the first book by this author I had read. Now, they are a One-Click Author!

I really can't recommend this highly enough! Sheer perfection.

Tink is sweet, silly, spoiled and oh, so fluffy. My nephew's girlfriend adopted her as a kitten and she lived with them and their daughter for the first 3 years of her life. When they moved to a new place that didn't allow pets, she came to live with me. It took her a while to find her place but she does pretty well. She knows she is lived and she is very well-fed and lives in comfort. She loves to snack on human food and comes running if she hears a bag or wrapper being opened. She isn't fond of being held and only allows a small amount of affection. She'd kind of a dork but a precious one. She loves playing with her fake mouse, throwing them in the air and catching them or chasing them. She has the highest meow when she does that. Whenever my boyfriend or I leave the house, she meows a little but calms down when she's reassured we will return. She's scared of storms and vacuums and goes into hiding until they're over. Kira is the brave one who isn't affected by those. She and Kira try to play together but they can't quite get it right. They're a little wary of each other and don't know whether the other is playing or fighting. I hope they learn how to play someday. Think occasional licks Kira's head or they touch noses, so there's hope.

Great game, but costs could add up.
Firstly, this is a great game, for seasoned gamers or beginners; very quick and easy to play and understand.

The aim of the game is a simple one, to empty your opponents deck. Simple as that. This is done by choosing a character (each with a unique special skill), and playing creature, spell and item cards to attack their deck.

The range of spells are superb, with everything from forgotten spells from the books, to flipendo, best remembered from the 2001 PS1 Philosophers Stone game. The range of beasts could be better, but as this is only based on the first book, the range could be considered excellent, including creatures including Devil's Snare, Fluffy, Fang, Hounds, Boa Constrictors, Wolves, Trolls and anything you can think of when it comes to the first film/book.

The only issue nowadays is potential costs. As this is out-of-print and nearly 20 years old, cards are a bit of a nuisance to find and expensive when you do find them. Small lots of cards can be found on ebay for a reasonable price, but if you're after individual cards, costs could easily mount up with cards starting at 99p and going up to £5 or more for some of the rarer cards.

Overall though, a great game, and well worth getting a starter set and a few extras :)
