Did not cut it for this grownup - [19 Jan 2010]
My 7- and 10-year-old nephew and niece really enjoyed this. They continued on in the series. I read this one, but did not want to continue. It's fanciful, but it is not nearly as good as the Harry Potter books. (The Lightning Thief books come the closest...

Excellent book for all ages. - [03 Dec 2009]
After much prodding from a friend, I finally decided to pick up The Mysterious Benedict Society. I read the blurb on the back, decided that the plot seemed decent at the most, and read it. Boy, am I glad I did! Within just a few pages, I was completely...

Not believable - [21 Nov 2009]
Well, I've given up on this book after 100 pages. I simply can't go on. To me, for a book to be enjoyable, especially a fantasy book, it must be believable. From the outset there were too many unbelievable details that killed it for me. I'll name a few...
