Stories for Children Magazine 5 Star Review
When I first started reading the first few chapters I wasn't sure I was going to like the book. I felt it had a bit of a slow start and it took sometime for me to bond with the main character, Reynie Muldoon. After sticking to my rule, which is to read the first 100 pages before putting a book down, I started to be drawn into the storyline. The Mysterious Benedict Society is about a bund of ...

An Amazing Read!!!!
This book was bar far one of the best in the series. I always love how in depth she goes with the characters. You can not help but grow to love every single one of them, and feel their pain when something happens. Their were some parts however that felt like that drug on forever, but she always managed to throw in some twists and turns into those. Highly recommended, great read.

Your not too old, trust me
I am 32 and I loved this book. I usually read JR WARD, Sherilyn Kenyon, Lynn Viehl, etc so I did not buy it because I thought it was to young for me so a woman I work with found out that I love books about vampires so she brought it in for me and when I saw what book it was, I was a little disappointed until I started to read it. Even though they are teenagers and I am not I found this book ...

percy is my hero
I have been looking for a book that would spark my sons interest and make him want to read. I was lucky to find a series. We read the first book together and he was hooked.(So was I.) I found myself reading ahead of him and befor I knew it I had finished all four books. He doesn't know and I'm not going to tell him. I am actually excited to read it again with him. I find the character of Percy ...

A wonder of a read
Before I get started here I just want to emphasize that this is my opinion. I realize that taste is something to consider, and I am sensitive to that, but frankly, this book deserves far more attention than it has received. This writer also has something many writers putting out novels today do not posess: talent! I consider many of the prize winners, and popular authors to be skilled in ...

Ah a blast from the past
I had to read this book in elementary school, but I've been thinking about it lately and wondered if it was still around. Looks like it's not only around, but being used in schools just as regularly as before. Also with 1200+ reviews, I'm not sure it needs any more, including this one. I will say that even though I haven't read it in twenty years, that it still makes me want to shed a little ...

"Children You Must Not Come STOP. Dangerous"
The Mysterious Benedict Society, a group of four children created to thwart the plans of the evil genius Ledroptha Curtain, is fresh off their great victory. The "brainswept" are slowly having their memories returned and everything seems like it should be getting back to normal. It should be the perfect happy ending, yet happy endings are rarely so simple... All is not well for the Mysterious ...

Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix is a suprising, entertaining book. The main characters are Harry,Ron and Hermione.The main characters broke the rules that would get them expelled from Hogwarts.My favorite character is Ron Weassly because he never fights to make people stop teasing him.I can relate to the character Ron because I don't like to be teased. I also find ways to make them stop ...

Sruthie's Book Review
This was a fantastic book. The characters, especially Ellen and AnneMarie, are very brave and have a strong friendship. The plot is really exciting, because you never know if the characters will make it safely. I recommend this book because you learn a lot about history and what Jewish people had to go through when the Nazis were in Denmark. The ending was good too, but I won't give that ...

Ignorance among our population.
It's very unfortunate that some people in our country remain uneducated and uncompassionate about the facts behind the premeditated murder that occurred during Adolph Hitler's reign. There is also a great lack of proper spelling, grammar and punctuation amongst the one and two star reviewers in the Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl reviews. All of these facts are reasons to be concerned for ...

Better than the First . . .
This sequel to The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1) is very much more of the same: A pop version of greek mythology, set in the life of a contemporary teenager. The order matters, so you should certainly start with the first book in the series. If you have already read that one, this sequel will not disappoint: Indeed, by not having to lay out the rather ...
