LOL...agree! But seriously, I don't much care for any of them!

(view spoiler)[ I agree. People get really violent when it comes to money. It is sad. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Starting Book 3 today...

[Christina]

Hiya Marla
I'm up to book three too! We can discuss :)

[Courtney]

I am almost done with book two so I will join with book three soon as well

[Maddie]

Like how Tayla and I still haven't started it :p We always get so far behind on buddy reads.

Me too, Maddison, I'm always behind and I read multiple books at a time, so I finish some books quickly and others drag on and on.

Chpt. 5: I don't like any of these Cahills, Holts, Ohs, et al. (view spoiler)[ I'm interested to see how Dan and Amy find Nellie again. I don't like how Dan and Amy seem to put each other down all the time. It's bad enough that their relatives say nasty things to them all the time. I tend to like sarcastic and witty banter, but these books are missing the mark for me.

I am interested to see how things go in Japan. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

I just finished book 2 and will be starting book 3 soon.

ughhh so bad

31% @ The Sword Thief
(view spoiler)[Alastair seems nice but it could be deceiving again!! I found the line "In every oh, there is an element of surprise" Cracked up.

I really dislike the Holts though

[Christina]

52%
(view spoiler)[LOL there's something going on between Amy and Ian.. . interesting! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

83%
(view spoiler)[Natalie and Ian are so sneaky!! I thought Ian actually liked Amy but then he backstabbed them... Should've known better

I was a little lost of what the 39 clues were for. Now that it's revealed to be ingredients for the philosopher's stone it makes sense why one would want to win such a prize.. (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

end
(view spoiler)[I was almost convinced with Alastair's death there but they're all a bunch of deceivers, not to be trusted!! It's every team for themselves. I wonder how Alastair will make his appearance in the following books (hide spoiler)]

I think I'm liking (view spoiler)[this little love interest. But I do not trust the Kabras...Ian better not be leading Amy on. (hide spoiler)]

I was sad at (view spoiler)[ Alistair's death also, but I wasn't surprised to find out he was alive. I am sad that Amy and Dan were deceived twice. They were warned to trust no one. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Nellie ~ (view spoiler)[ I was so happy when Nellie found Amy and Dan (hide spoiler)]
Alistair ~ (view spoiler)[ Can you ever trust him again? I did like that he remembered the frozen burrito flavor that funded each of his possessions. I was just starting to trust Alistair...

I thought Alistair's father's story was very sad. Alistair knows what it means to be betrayed by family. Rather than living better, he has embraced the very attitude that killed his father. (hide spoiler)]

I used to read a specific amount of each book a day but then books just took me ages so I stopped doing that and am now focussing on a book at a time.

Have you started yet Tayla?

...[spoilers removed]"

Noella, I agree with you on everything. (view spoiler)[ I liked the non-spoken conversations too. And I hope that Alistair is really trustworthy and I'm glad he survived. And I think that Ian may actually be starting to care for Amy. But I will not bet on that one.

I forgot about Irina following the wrong plane. That was funny. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I'm starting this one now :p Rather late, I know, but I have a little bit of time and wouldn't mind getting it off my list.

[Maddie]

Finished.

Starting this one now, planning on finishing today/tomorrow.

[Maddie]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ Yaaaayyyy so pleased to be back in this series.

I also loved seeing Regan's 'good side', when she felt bad about leaving them in that grave pit. (hide spoiler)]
Sorry for lack of updates, just haven't been feeling it.

[Maddie]

Chapter 17 (view spoiler)[Maaannn I'm sick of people stealing clues from them!

And so pleased Nellie came on board. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Finished (view spoiler)[Can't believe William suggested selling the necklace :/ (hide spoiler)]

Pleased I finally made it to the end! Thanks for that BR Aly!

[Maddie]

Review: Read this one a few times now, and still enjoy it every time :) I've just never gotten around to finishing the series, and I hope to this time. Sometimes I find it quite childish, like with the Holts, but I love the whole mystery aspect, and the suspense with the other teams and the danger and it's all so exciting!
