Definitely the best book of the series but all 3 are highly engaging and worth reading.  I didn't know anything about this book when I bought it, but I had heard of it and wanted a good book to put on my brand new Kindle.  I seriously could not put it down, and finished it in one day and immediately purchased the other 2 books in the trilogy.I was surprised to find out that this was meant for kids! It is so captivating, and fairly gruesome.  Definitely the best book I have read in a long time, I would recommend this to any and everyone! 

Question: Is it book ?
