- This isn't my favorite of the series, but I still enjoyed it.

- Nathan changed the formula a little bit. Other characters helped Nathan Hale tell the story, and the hangman wasn't the only one interrupting with comments and questions. I didn't really care for the new narrators. They weren't needed.

- I don't know a lot of back story for the Alamo, so it was good to learn about that and guys I'd never heard of, but on the other hand, I was a little confused in the beginning. The intro threw the reader in the middle of something and it took me a while to catch up.

- The cholera monster was awesome! It was very creative and scary looking.

- The page where you have to turn the book sideways and follow paths to find out what happens to several guys is confusing. I didn't like it.

- I enjoy the humor of these books. It helps these historical stories to be light and fun for kids.

- Overall, this was fun, and I'll continue to read these Hazardous Tales.
