I love the John Carr stories the best. This one gives the same great action and adventure. Baldacci has a great plot and flows right through the whole story. He brings back the past and starts into the future.

Baldacci writes it and I immediately read it.
I have not been disappointed yet and I am a critical reader.

I am an educated adult and I love Riordan's books. I have read all of his so called children's books. He is a greta writer. I read a novel a week and his books are a fantastic break from my normal readings. I very my topics weekly but I always go back to a few authors. Riordan is on my top list.

I am a Cardiac Anesthesiologist. I enjoy science fiction and I love stories like Riordan's. He is a a genuis. I love how he can mix history, and ancient god religions into a present day story. yes I do love these books. He is fantastic. I have had my young teens read them also.

Nice ending but Christopher still is learning. He is a great young writer and I hope to see many more novels and especially series from him. He may even consider a future version of this series but I wont hold my breath. I enjoyed the books but the movie sucked and ruined the story.
Great ideas and good follow through but I dot see a huge future. I see a one series wonder.

I have read every book Baldacci has published. This is not his best work but it is still a very good book. The plot lines are well thought out and the theme is constant. There is enough mystery in the finish to keep any reader interested. The characters are believable and energizing but it cannot stand up to John Carr.

Patterson is a masterful writer. I enjoy everything he writes. I never thought I would enjoy a children's book series but I do look forward to the next books.

I read Mistborn and really enjoyed the style. Brandon has become a very interesting writer. I only started reading his works because of the Wheel of Time series and Robert Jordan's passing. His own books are very well written. The characters in this series are amazing. He has a great plot and theme and keeps his ideas and story lines flowing without distractions. He follows through all the way with the Mistborn series. The final chapters were unpredictable yet still a tiny disappointing but thoroughly enjoyable to the last words. Much greater entertainment than Elantris that i believe should have ben at least 2 books to give it justice.

If you can get your kids to read these books then you are doing them a favor. These books are just plain fun but they also have many hidden treasures. The books have legends and history and ancient tales for them to read and maybe even remember. These are lessons that may creep up in school. These books have some fun mixed with knowledge. I cannot think of a better thing for a kid than to read for fun and accidentally learn something. The 30 Clues series is the same. Many historical and geographic facts mixed with a fun story.

This series may or may not be intended for teenagers or the youth. It is a nice fun series. I am a seriously avid reader, and finish a novel per week. I picked up the first book in the series for my daughter. I ran out of books and picked it up. I have read all of them now. They are fun.
The series has characters that are well wrritten and believable. The goals and problems are very truthful. Michael Scott has to have or had a few teenagers because he has them down pretty well in the books.
Now don't think you are about to read a literary masterpiece but the stories have heart, soul, well planned themes and flow, and realistic well described characters. I love a good book and these are just that. GOOD BOOKS

My daughter and I will both keep reading this series but this was the only one of the books I didn't give a 5,5,5.
