Good series for young readers, not quite enough to keep an adult fully entertained, though the idea is great. I breeze through these in about a day!

I loved the premise of this book, and really enjoy this type of book in general. Basically, a wealthy business man is trying to realize a childhood goal of surpassing the wealth of Solomon and goes about it by planning a world disaster that will cause his business to make loads of money. I really enjoyed most of the book and the characters, but felt like the end was a bit of a let down, rather anti-climactic. It seemed to me that there was no real peak to the action, it just all tied up very (too?) neatly and really was not very satisfying. It's an ok read if you can get it at your library or borrow it but i wouldn't bother buying it, unfortunately, unless you want just a quick easy action read.

Love these books, but don't think it will be like Bones! not too many similarities...

Fairly entertaining series following the sister of Sherlock Holmes. Young readers will enjoy it and parents will probably enjoy that some history is being snuck in (well way of life in those times). Pretty easy read (i listen via audiobooks) for an adult, but not too easy.
