Ratings and reviews

I'm going into high school August 18th. And we were assigned over the summer to read a book and do a report about the book when we get into school. I choose this one because the description of the story sounded interesting to me. I've started reading the book today (July 26th) and I'm at chapter 8, and so far I have to say, it's pretty good!

Although it reminded me of I am number 4 (3 star rating) The composition of this "novel" is horrible. the author clearly is trying to dumb down the novel and ends up going too far "News flash idaho is a state" didn't make for a funny joke or an informative statement...your five year old might enjoy reading this after the hungry caterpillar

I have never reviewed anything before but I felt it necessary for this book. Richard Paul Evens is one of the greatest authors I have read something from. I read this entire series I'm a little over a week because I lie it so much and it is one of if not the favorite/best series I have ever read and trust me I have read and seen a lot in my 17 year lifetime, I seen and experienced things some most people won't in in there lifetime nor would I want them to, but with that said this series is amazing and I would recommend it's to anyone.
