I loved this book because it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, waiting for the next plot twist. I also loved this book because no matter how many times you re-read it, it will still have the same plot twists, the same surprises, and will never lose it’s glamour.
I would recommend this book to people who like adventure, and to 10 year olds and up. I would give this book a 10 out of 10 star rating.
