A review by ninjakiwi12
The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma by Trenton Lee Stewart
4.0
Fun(ny) fact(s): One of these days I will have to try out Mr. Curtain's exclamation for myself, simply to see others' reactions. Snakes and dogs!
Favorite quote/image: "You aren't responsible for all of us, Kate had said in the prison. We're all responsible for each other, right?" (pg. 387)
Honorable mention: "'I guess you like falling asleep willy-nilly?' said Mr. Gaines angrily. 'I certainly prefer it to laying aside my moral concerns.'" (pg. 64)
Why: Friendship and ingenuity continue to be tested in the third novel. While perhaps my least favorite of the original trilogy, I cannot help but be inspired, entertained, and reminded, as Reynie says, "Maybe we should acquire a taste for bittersweet." (pg. 386)
