I love how at the start of the story a mini version of the story happens. It's just a great book- they are SO smart and think up answers to impossible riddles I could never have guessed. Mr Curtain is such a bad baddie- but also smart. I don't like a typical baddie- really dumb and easy to defeat. This one's much better. The plot was really good, but then how could Trenton Lee Stewart write a book with a bad plot? He's proved that he is an accomplished author who spends time and effort over his writing. Constance is so funny! She is one hundred percent my favourite character still, although the others are pretty great too. I recommend it to anyone who's read the others as this is totally a series book. Seriously though, you are missing out drastically if you don't read this book!

I would recommend this book highly and enjoyed it very much. At first slightly slow paced a few chapters in the plot began to thicken and the intentions of characters both good and not became clear. Soon the characters were immersed in a deadly plot and anticipation was building as all the minuscule details throughout the book were called upon by the author.

I love the part in this book where Reynie, Sticky, Kate and Constance are trapped in the prison and they figure out how to escape - it's really clever!!!

It was such a fun read and my favourite character was again Constance.

I really liked Constance because she is very stubborn but loyal to her friends. I really like how she can make up funny but rude poems very quickly. I would recommend this book to people who like mysteries and adventure.
