The Death Collector by Justin Richards
4.0
Let me start this review by reminding you all that this is a YA/Middle Grade book. That being said, it was written so.
The book was pretty predictable in the beginning. I knew who the "bad guys" were before the characters in the book ever figured it out. Maybe a little bit before halfway through the book, things started getting better. The first half of the book was spent getting to know the characters and the story. All of the action starts happening after that.
The second half of the book was great. For all ages. It was full of action and suspense, and really ended well. I was impressed with the way that the author was able to keep the reader interested, even through the beginning part that wasn't as interesting. He did a good job of writing in a way that is easy to read and keep up with, but also had enough in it to keep you reading all the way to the end.
I would suggest this book to mainly middle grade and YA readers. It is a good read for an adult, but at times you may find it tedious because of the predictability. Younger readers likely won't be able to predict as much as quickly as a well-read adult.
