This series has not ceased to amaze me. :) a good bit of violence involving guns, but it wasn't so descriptive I didn't like it. I think I'm getting the last two books in the series for Christmas, so I can't wait to finish the series up!!
This book was a fast and easy read (it was a children's book, so I knew it wouldn't take long). It kept moving pretty quickly but the series is starting to lag a bit. They keep killing off characters so that the story goes somewhere, and they are continuing to search and find with clues. I think for me, the series is starting to feel a little old news, same old same old. Hopefully the next book will get better, since this is the spin-off to the first series and really just the start of it.. It
Finally a little realism in this adventure. Enjoyable and a quick read. Would recommend reading the others in the series first.

*sigh*Not as good as the original series. For one, I'm not overly fond of how the characters keep changing. I suppose this is unavoidable, given that there are different authors for each book, but I still don't think it's excusable. I don't like who they've turned Ian Kabra into. He USED to be a mysterious, slightly creepy, handsome dude that smelled like cloves (according to Amy), and a pretty good villain/sort of good guy. Now he has morphed into a wimp that screams at the sight of a cat.:IMaybe they need to take the tone as in the actual 39 clues series: minimum romance, less power-accessing, more resourcefulness.
