Ratings and reviews

I love love love love love this book and all the other books in the Seven Wonders series. I even cried at the end of the last book because I was soooo sad it was over. I think Peter Lerangis so some how do more to the series and branch it out to multiple series just like the 39 Clues.(P.s. I loved your books and all the other authors books in the 39 Clues.) I finished reading this series a couple months ago but I am rereading it cause it is sooo amazing. Keep on writing Peter. Love it.

Many people say its a wanna be percy jackson series i find more of a mix of percy jackson and i am number four meets micheal vey series... Its a fast paced book full of action... besides mr riordan did after did critique and gave it a good review so will i cause its a good book and I cannott wait for book two lost in Babylon...

The book....absolutely loved it! Great story about the amazing select kids! Cannot wait to dive into the next one! My only gripe is the inability to have this in an auto-read format. I am often times traveling and work when arriving. I have not a lot of time to actually read a ook. That is why I love the auto read books. I plug my earbuds in and follow along easily! Not sure if it is an option removed by the device or publishers, but it needs auto read function! Still loved it!
