I think I would have liked this better as an audiobook since the book's narrator has such a distinctive voice. I probably missed a LOT (if not most) of the humor since I probably read it too fast. It was an OK book and would make a good movie since it had a lot of action and suspense. I think it would appeal to all teens who enjoy a good adventure story with supernatural bad guys and a main character who didn't realize he was a necromancer since his mother had bound his powers when he was young.
