Mirko Belotti mirkobelotti — Absoultely amazing book. Cannot recommend it highly enough. I have made a pact with myself to re-read this book once every two years to be sure I remember the invaluable information and advice. See you again in two years, P & H!

Efrat Shifrin _hini — John Eldredge's story of overcoming "the natural man" (that is a term I use, not his) is inspiring. The Adam and Eve part is a little off what I believe happened in the Garden of Eden, but other than that I think he has some very insightful ideas about the nature of men and women, and how to turn to Christ to overcome that.

Hikary Yamada hky — I did not hate this book as I expected to. Sometimes low expectations are the best approach. It was an easy read that threw in interesting bits and pieces of information that I had never thought of before.

View Master _olutions — Jaime Lowe wants you to know that she's not like all the other upper-middle-class white hipster kids who think ODB is a genius. She is the REAL THING and she will keep explaining this to you, page after page, until you get it. Any insights into ODB's life and career seem to be an afterthought. The most infuriating thing about this book is that it assumes its audience is already familiar with late 90s hip-hop in general and the Wu-Tang Clan in particular. Therefore, it leaves out some very basic information that would be helpful to readers who can't tell their RZA from their GZA or their Ghostfaces from their Masta Killas. The flip side of this is that readers who posesses this level of familiarity are much, much less likely to care about Jaime Lowe and her oh-so-interesting (and sophisticated and bohemian) life.

James Olstein jamesolstein — ***NOTE MY REVIEWS OFTEN CONTAIN SPOILERS*** After the events in China, the Cahill siblings feel they have no choice but to confront Nellie, because they’re sure Nellie isn’t what she claims to be and they need to know exactly what kind of enemy might be among them. Even though they were expecting it, it still blows them away when Nellie confesses to be working for Mr. McIntyre. Along the search for the clue Nellie has become the only family they had and now she’s confessed that they can’t trust her and she’s been sharing their secrets all along. Feeling betrayed and heartbroken, the trio journey to the Bahamas and Jamaica, following the trail of Anne Bonny, the pirate from the locket. But with Isabel Kambra hard on their heels there isn’t time for heart break if they intend to survive. With no one but each other to trust, will Amy and Dan survive the islands? Like with my previous few reviews, I wrote one review and posted a rating on goodreads after first reading it, but alas that original review was in a notebook that grew legs and ran away. So I reread the book for the purpose of review and I’m sticking with the original rating because I believe books are bast rated after first reading. That and regardless of the fact I like to write reviews I don’t like rating books So I’m not putting myself through making that decision twice. As with all the books in this series, the story presents a wealth of information in the form of a thrilling adventure. This one however shares history on a topic no child could resist – pirates! Following the clue hunt is more than just an adventure for readers, it’s a lesson in history and geography that will hopefully inspire young readers to search for more information on the topics they’re given a taste of in this tale. What’s wonderful about how the information is presented here though is that children don’t even realize they’re learning as they read about Amy and Dan’s adventures in the search for the 39 Clues. The book is a well written close third person with multiple view points and fast pacing. Though filled with information, danger and adventure, this book actually focuses more on the characters. We learn about the clue hunt, but we also learn about how the lives of the Cahills and even their au pair have been maneuvered practically since birth to prepare them for the clue hunt they currently face. Learning this gives all of them a sense of disillusionment added to their au pair’s betrayal it opens us up to more of Amy and Dan’s sensitivities. The characters become even more real as they don’t come across as just adventurers here, they come across as children whose whole world has been torn apart by these events. One thing I didn’t like is that in some ways the characters weren’t as true to form as they’d been in the other novels, Dan’s always been the computer geek while Amy’s into books. Dan’s kind of the hands on puzzles kind of guy while Amy’s the book smart serious worry wort. Or at least that’s how it’s been in the other novels. In this book there’s a scene where Dan correct Amy’s terminology and Amy’s downloading stuff on the computer. Amy’s making up crazy words and Dan’s worrying more than normal. I mean they weren’t completely out of character but it just seemed sort of switched around. The book is filled with action and answers we’ve been searching for throughout the clue hunt are finally revealed which is awesome, but with all the characters introspectiveness and the way they choose at one point to attack rather than defend it’s a little different from other books in the series. Usually Amy and Dan don’t seek out their Cahill relatives, they run from them, in this novel they turn the tables which is unusual but it also goes along with what they’re learning about the historical figures presented in this book. Though each character undergoes a lot of introspection, it doesn’t slow down the plot in anyway because there’s more than enough danger, action and adventure to keep the pace moving along quickly. Like I said above though it has a lot of everything else, the focus of this book is the characters and it includes a lot of introspective moments which allow us to better know the characters and those characters to grow. Amy and Dan have their quirky moments which I mentioned about but are otherwise true to form and gain a new depth in this novel when faced with their au pairs betrayal and how to deal with that. Nellie is torn between her alliances to the children and to her employer. She’s on the outside and she doesn’t know how to get back in and there’s a big part of her that doesn’t care about the job anymore, just the kids. We see her character really grow in this novel as she sees how the Cahill children weren’t the only ones molded for the clue hunt, she was as well. She reflects on how Grace affected her life and how she in turn has affected Amy and Dan’s. Another thing I really enjoyed was seeing into Natalie Kambra. Natalie hasn’t had a lot of spotlight in the previous novels and we start to understand why she is like she is, and how she rationalizes her behavior. She’s starting to question her mother’s action and then berate herself for doing so and there’s a lot of internal struggle going on for this character. I think for the first time ever Natalie actually becomes a little girl as a character rather than just another villain. She’s finally human and that’s kind of impressive. Overall this was an excellent addition to the 39 Clues Series and like always I recommend to readers young and old and am excited to get to the next title.
