You're welcome! This book is definitely not my flavor of soft drink. Espionage just doesn't float my boat, but I can tell that this is a great book from your review! I definitely think the right readers, who like this type of story, would love it! :D

The title caught my eye and I was wondering if it'd be biased in one direction or not. I'm glad it wasn't. Thanks for the detailed review as it motivated me to keep the title in mind for the next splurge.

Your summary of the plot is very entertaining Tanaya. It sure sounds like one can expect a heap of action and good comedy from this novel.

Great review! I don't read a lot of Young Adult books, but you made this book sound interesting. I like that you mentioned it can be read as a standalone book, which is an important point with series books.

Ooh! Sounds thrilling. The book sounds action-packed, not exactly my favourite, but it also seems exciting and full of suspense. I'll give it a try
(By the way, you've definitely got a talent for writing!)
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

Thank you for the insightful and well-written review. Sounds like an intense read :techie-studyingbrown:
lots of negativity in the media about religions. We have to remember that the actions of a few do not always
reflect those of the church. Leave the judging to God.

I really love stories that are about kids this age, and the way you have summarized the book really makes it sound interesting. It's been a while since this review was written, but thank you for the great review. It really sounds like you enjoyed it a lot, as your excitement comes out in the description of the book!

What a wonderful review! I sympathize with Justin, and found your synopsis of the plot intriguing. However, I don't feel this is a read for me. As a traveler, I would rather not think about flights filled with terrorists. Though I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Although I previously commented on this review, I wanted to say congrats to the author on having the Book of the Day and receiving a glowing review. Although the terrorism theme isn't my cup of tea, the story does look like a winner for people who enjoy young adult action/adventure stories.

This sounds like a fabulous book! Of course, I even liked all the Hardy Boys, but this sounds much deeper of a plot and much deeper characterization than the Hardys. Good job on the review—you succeeded in making this book sound very appealing to everyone!
