the mysterious benedict society
Posted by u l a n on Monday, December 08, 2008 at 2:38 PM.
Mowing down my book pile steadily, I finished Frank Beddor's Seeing Redd last Friday and started right away on The Mysterious Benedict Society. I've been eyeing this book for months; picking it up at the bookstore, walking around with it for half an hour only to return it on the shelf. I finally got it last November 11.
So far, it's been lots of fun! The colorful cast of characters and the adventures they get into make for a hilarious and exciting read -- Reynie the sharp and sensible, shy Sticky with an encyclopedic brain, the energetic and marvelously inventive Kate, and Constance Contraire -- who is constantly contrary to everything. And they are brought together by a narcoleptic genius who has discovered an evil plot against humankind. Dundundunduuuuun. I'm not even halfway through it yet, but I have high hopes for it to make my favorite reads list this year.

I'm already thinking of the next Benedict Society book: The Mysterious Benedict Society and The Perilous Journey! I've been seeing it in the bookstores. Can't wait!
