breathless

i love thiss book, i love this author, what we have here is a well constructed story with humor, action and a great mystry roled up into a riveting story that will keep you at the edge of your seat, i started and fineshed it in one day and was totally breathless throught the whole thing.i can't even begin to describe the plot without getting carried away, i laughed or gasped through the whole thing, Nick has a great voice that any teen can identyfie with even though they will probubly never find thenselves in the same place, although Tim is so dunb it gets annoying it would not be as good any other way. though the one thing that bothered me was Nick's older brother's name is Herbert, and Tim is his professional name he is known as Tim through this book but Herbert through the preveous, well the gook has so many other GREAT qualiteis that is easy to ignore

A Brilliant Sequel to 'Falcon's Malteser'!

The second mystery in Anthony Horowitz's Diamond Brothers Series is just as good as the first one. Nick gets framed for a jewel theft and he soon finds himself embroiled in grand plot involving public enemy number one, 15 year old Johnny Powers, and the England's master criminal, the Fence. This adventure offers all of Nick's classic sarcasm, wit, and his quick-thinking which were most usefull in those sticky situations. Again, Horowitz offers all of the same thrills and chills as he did in the first book and his wildly successful Alex Rider series. The characters are entertaining, the situations thrilling, and the ending is simply unexpected. A great second mystery in this series that is sure to be just as big as Alex Rider. Highly recommended.

A Great Diamond Brothers Mystery

Public Enemy Number Two by Anthony Horwitz is one of the best books that you should read. It's about Nick Diamond, a teenage who is asked by Chief Inspector Snape & Assistant Boyle to go to jail and be cell mates with Johnny Powers, Public Enemy Number One., to find out who the fence is so they can catch him. Nick refuses to help Snape & Boyle, so later he is framed by them so he would be put to jail. His only hope of getting out is finding out who the fence is. Then there's a surprise twist about Snape and Boyle. Nick Diamond is a boy who is a nice kid at heart but has to go through terrible events such as escaping prison, stealing a diamond, and fighting a lion. Johnny Powers, Public Enemy Number Two is one of those people that you think would never do anything wrong. He's has perfect teeth, chubby face, and best yet, he has the face of a baby. Well you all are wrong if you think he's one of those nice and loving people because he's one of the meanest and hating person you will ever meet. This story takes place mostly in Jail and at Johnny Power's safe house. The theme of the story is to help police officers by doing whatever you have to do even if that means spending time with one of the most wanted men. I really enjoyed this book because of its great story line and how the story played out so well.
