I was a little disappointed. I first started reading the series a few years ago and, as the first half of the book was mostly uneventful, it was okay because it allowed me to locate things on the main story plot. I was hoping the second half would make up for the slow start... but it didn't! It was a little bit predictable and the action I was really looking for wasn't really there. I guess I read too much reviews about how great the book was, got my expectations high and in the end the book just didn't match what I actually wanted. I look forward to reading the next one, tho.

Finally managed to finish the book after about four months of deadlock (well, a PDF book is not really easy to read!) So far, the series has been somehow different from Horowitz's other books. I like almost all of his books, and this one made me more interested, with some newer ideas and more exciting adventures.
I'm so curious to know how it all ends in the last book.
