[Claire · Rating 5 out of 5]

Of the four books that came out in the original series, this was the only one I read. It was a great read. It had that right mix of horror, humour and adventure. If I had to rate it against the new series, and in turn the book Necropolis, which holds the same place in the series, I'd say that the original is better than the rewrite. I wish Anthony Horowitz had stuck with the series and finished it.

A great conclusion (given no final book was written) for this series that I started decades ago. New settings, new people, old faces, action and intrigue.

Amazing! What can I say? No words can describe the chill and the glorious satisfaction during and after reading the book. The world needs more books like this one instead of yet another wasted pile of senseless violence, lovemaking and bickering. Utterly brilliant and delightful.
