Mystery and not much adventure until the 200s, BUT STILL AWESOME!!!
YAY! I love this one!!! Prisoner's Dilemma has even BETTER riddles than the others! And all the characters seem to be a little more open! Don't listen to the reviewer down there! XD. I love this! Well except how they aren't really in danger until the 200s but...KATE ROCKS! Haha.

The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma
This book is really great! Kids can solve the puzzles as they read what the characters are doing. This was so good I used for a book review at my school!

Great Book!
I think this is a very good book. There are more puzzles to solve than in the last books! Unfortionately, the book dosen't get exiciting until the last half of the book. Overall I think if you have read the first two books in the series you should check this book out. If you have not read the first two books you should take a look at the series, It is wonderfull!

4 smart kids in an adventure book.....what more do you want?
This is a really great book. There are a lot of riddles and one of the messages is to be yourself. It's a bit of a odd book and it doesn't really focus on themes that a lot of other books that I've read do (girl+boy, other world, vampires/werewolves etc.) Pretty much it's just adventure. It's set in such a real place that it doesn't qualify as a fantasy and It's definitely not comedy or romance. I am a big fan even though it might be for kids younger than me. I usually don't pay attention to that as long as it's a good story which this most definitely is.
