To start off, I would like to say that I'm a relatively big fan Of Anthony Horowitz's work. I've read the entire Alex Rider series, and I've watched some episodes of the show Foyle's War (not all of the episodes, mind you) which Horowitz writes and his wife (Jill Green) produces. I think that Anthony Horowitz is an OK writer, but he is definitely not my favorite. I'd also like to add that I'm an American, so I might not be accustomed to the British culture or style of writing. Although, I just read a Doctor Who short story (gargantuan fan, by the way) and I thought it was quite smart and sophisticated, (or as the British put it, "clever") but it was definitely not the best book I have ever read. This book has twists and turns that you might not see coming, even though the book is ostensibly predictable. Most of the short stories in this book are predictable if you have a knack for mystery solving. I find most of Horowitz's books to be only superficially touching, and they never contain much emotion. But, if you are looking for a quick, light, easy read for Summer or any time of the year, this is the book for you!

The cover may look scary but its lame

But is this scary? If it is I'm so reading it...

Best book I have read! This author is awesome too

Thats all I have to say!

This book is great!
