This was a satisfying ending to the Masterminds series. I am not super fond of Korman's writing style but I'm a 51-year-old mom so that probably wouldn't influence a middle grade reader.
Malik, Tori, Amber, and Eli all struggle with their conscience and emotions. Korman does a good job of keeping each character true to their personality. I listened to the first two books on CD and think Malik's reader sounded a lot like Andy Samberg so I use that voice in my head when I read those chapters. He's the funny goofball.
My favorite character is Tori because she is the most observant. I love how she can figure out how to get the whole team out of a mess.
As I mentioned in my review of Book 2, due to the violence in these books, I think the best age to read them is 12 years and older.
