Okay, so I put this under my 'enlightening' folder.
Yes, I understand this is a fun children's book.
Just let me explain:
I ended this book feeling, truly, enlightened. Throughout the whole series, he's got this 'Secret' going - the Secret series, the Terces Society, the Secret Keeper, and the readers sit there, curiously wondering, 'What is it?'

I had been anxiously waiting for this book, to find the secret, who PB is, what will happen to the midnight sun, and was taken by surprise when it came out. I had preordered this on my Kindle and one day I turned on my Kindle and there it was! Usually I reread a series before reading the new installment, but honestly, I couldnt resist starting it the moment I saw it.
And let me tell you, it did not dissapoint.

So, I read through 5 books to learn a secret. THE secret of life, supposedly, for this series. Was it worth it, you wonder? Well, for me, I'm going to have to say...eh, I guess I was a little put down. I guess behind what it sounds like, it really does have some big meaning. I had a feeling he was going to do something like that..that it wouldn't be some great big secret, but something small, like..a joke.(; I guess it's telling us that the journey of trying to retrieve the secret is what made i

You Have to Stop This, in comparison to the other books in the Secret Series, seems to be a bit toned-down and mellow. There are still plenty of cheeky footnotes, gimmicks, and meta asides, but maybe once or twice per chapter, instead of in every page. Instead, this book is more focused on Cass, Max-Ernest, and Yo-Yoji learning the secret. As for the Secret itself, ((slight spoiler)) it's very philosophical and not some kind of thing like, mix eight parts melted gold with two parts blood of a

This book was great! I really felt the characters developed in this book, they are growing up and becoming more mature. They're becoming their own people, and having their own opinions, agreeing and disagreeing with each other. But I also felt this book didn't have enough action in it. The four other books had a lot more, but this one lacked a quality the others did. Even though I was anticipating the next event, I wasn't anticipaing it as much as in the four other books.

This book was amazing. I got done reading it 5 minutes ago and I LOVED it! The end was heart-breaking/bitter-sweet but I think that the end of every book series is sad but *spoilers* Max-Ernest's graduation speach made it even more bitter-sweet * end of spoilers* I wish Mr. Bosch had told us a little more about the main character's future. But the ending was really awesome. The story was AMAZING! It made me laugh (just like the books before it). I loved it! This is one of my favorite series and

3.5 stars. I've been reading this series as a bedtime story to my boys for most of this year, and the back cover claims this is the "fifth, final, fantastic finale..." I hope so, because as is true for many of the series I read, the premise wears a bit thin. I suspect if I had more of a break between reading each title in the series, I would have liked them even more. Still, this is a good book.

The Secret Series is now over. And I'm sad to see it end like most series I love. But the ending was truly touching where you really discovered who Max Ernest really is (emotionally and mentally). The epilouge was great where the author said he wasn't going to write anything about the characters because that would spoil the ending. And to be honest I don't think It highly likely but there is a possibility that the author will write a series based off the one like how The Heroes of Olympus Series

This book was kind of a disappointment because all the other ones leading up to it were so good and this one was just KIND OF good. All four previous books were leading up to this SECRET. There was so much build up to the discovery of this secret that I think it's impossible to not disappoint everyone with what the secret actually is. The secret was much more alluring when I didn't know what it was.

I am absolutely in love with how this series ended. I didn't really have expectations for the secret, because I knew it would be something unexpected. Which it was, and I have to say it was rather beautifully done. Plus I like Max-Ernest's interpretation much better than Cass's. <spoiler>Although I wasn't a fun of YoYoji and Cass. I expected M-E and Cass, and was slightly frustrated. But hey, they just graduated middle school. Who knows what shall happen?</spoiler>

Really good book. After the first twenty pages, I wasn't sure I was going to like it. Fortunately, a good friend of mine (not naming names) convinced me to keep reading it without saying a single thing about the book. Instead, she bemoaned that we were making her read Harry Potter, and it was SO BORING, and she had much better books to read. She was on page 3 of the first book. This made me see how we judge books by stereotypes, covers, and the first few pages. My sister's teacher has init

The fifth,final,finale to the secret series! Go on a trip with our friends Cass,Max-Ernest and Yo-Yogi to Las Vegas to follow the mummy (lord pharoh) to see if they can awaken him and find out the secret... Also, Cass realizes that getting a manicure and pedicure every once and a while isn't so bad. This book is exciting, funny, and kind of sad because you know this is the end of your (their) journey. So read it slow! It's a good one!

These books were my escape. They were fun and you didn't have to think much when you read them (besides screaming at the characters when you figured out a mystery before they did). It was a nice way to get away from my otherwise serious(?) life. And they had pictures.
Then the last one came and it got kind of intense. It got deep, especially the ending. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm not saying that at all. In fact, it's a really really good thing. I finished reading the l More...

The big question in a series like the Secret series, where you set up a big mystery, especially one like "the secret of eternal life", is how you handle the revealing of the secret. Do you not reveal it and leave it a mystery, or do you reveal the secret and risk it being a let-down? Without getting into any spoilers, I think You Have to Stop This handles the problem just fine.

What a series! Humor and mystery... and just Bosch! <spoiler> MAX ERNEST!!! M.E. ME!!!! BOSCH!!!! Sorry - revelation from last book and all, but I can't get over it. And I dislike Cass for the sole reason that she picks Yo Yoji. Even if Max Ernest was not interested. She should have been! Sorry... </spoiler> A must read, though - if you liked Lemony Snicket's style, without the ending that told you absolutely NOTHING, well, this is for you (in the sense that, the ending is legitimate

i throughly enjoyed this querky series about secrets. it is a nice finally book that ties in a lot of the previous four books that cass, max-ernest and yo-yoji are in. this time they go on a field trip to the local natural history museum. the star of the exhibit is a mummy that the curator says is a mystery mummy. cass accidently breaks a part of the mummy and all kinds of things snowball after that.
