Reviews

[DCD.]

read this one in a few hours -- it's a pretty fun story that keeps you hooked and curious for the ending
it's very well written (in a simple and accessible way) so it's pretty enjoyable to read if you're looking for a cool book to read in a day
the ending is sort of a given after a while, but i thought the building up to that point was really well made -- it was lots of fun to follow this investigation
the version i've read had these really awesome illustrations which helped me a lot to picture the scenes
definitely recommended
