Customer Reviews

Great book.!

I was given this book from my nephew who got it at a book fair from school. It looked interesting and was like no im not reading it, its a kid book probably predicitable. But i opened it and read a few pages to my son who is 5 and said it was scary, but my interest kept growing and i didnt put it down. Such a great book very unpredicitable, very interesting, and so addictive. Would recommend to adults.

This book was a huge surprise for me.

Let me start off by saying I'm a 28 year old woman, definitely out of the recommended age group for this book. But I loved it! It kept my interest the whole way. I was looking for an easy, light read after reading a big book. I wasn't expecting it to be so good. Yes, it would be great for older children. But some adults may love it as well.
