The Reluctant Assassin by Eoin Colfer

4.0

---

This book was a lot of fun to read. I enjoyed following Riley and Chevron on their escapades through both Londons, and Garrick was a great opponent for them. The pacing was fast enough to keep me interested but not so fast that I was felt like I was missing out on something. Both characters are believable and entertaining. I would recommend this book not only to Colfer fans, but also to any teen or tween who enjoys adventure stories. This also would make a great read-aloud book, particularly for a teacher/librarian/parent who is able to read with an accent.

I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley for the purposes of review.
