Finished my own book on the plane and had packed my books in my suitcase, so Anna gave me this. Kid's books are a lot better than when we were little.
I just didn't think this book added much to the series. I did like the series as a whole, but this volume mostly seemed superfluous.

It was good. I liked the action in it - the others didn't have quite as much.

A cleverly constructed adventure and highly enjoyable read that any fan of The Mysterious Benedict Society should appreciate. More at http://bookhopping.wordpress.com
I dunno..... I think I enjoyed the first book so much more than either of the sequels. In this one, the characters were beginning to grate on my nerves. Especially when they could make HUGE logic leaps when solving mysteries, but couldn't get the "secret message" about pies shaped like "S's" and being held by people wearing silly disguises. DUH!
This was also the first one I'd heard on audio book and the reader reminds me of the guy who used to read the Winnie-the-Pooh books on tape. It's a nice enough comfortable-old-chair sort of voice, but he would guffaw at slightly strange moments and his voice didn't change at all for any of the characters. It was odd to hear Constance's voice being read by an old man.
meh.
