After reading each of these books 4 times, I am always looking for time to read them again. Out of all the books I've ever read (and I've been reading chapter books and novels since I was 6), these books are the best yet. They have everything people want in a book, action, adventure, suspense, comedy, and romance. I am still kind of disappointed that Mr.Nix hasn't written anymore books in the trilogy (and yes I know, trilogies consist of three books, but one can only hope...). I would recommend this book to everyone (even though everyone I know is so fed up with me trying to get them to read it that they bought the books and wrote reports just to prove that they read it). He should get like some kind of science ficion award or whatever for these rockin books.
