Very clever and very humorous, liked it just as much the second time around. I love Flavia who is both incredibly precocious and quite naive. I love all the little factoids about elements and poisons that she knows, and that she's getting so much of her information from really, really old books. Bradley does a great job describing scenes, and all the characters feel like they have life to them.
