If You're Reading This, It's Too Late (Secret, Book 2) (The Secret Series, Book 2)

I feel like maybe P. Bosch should have just left it with one book, a longer one, sure, which would answer everything, but one book. He/she seems to already be reaching for subject matter, when I'm sure we would have been gratified with just one. Now it seems like it'll be a series of pointless little individual mysteries, each telling us one fact at a time, drawing it out and leaving it more thin and boring each time.This isn't to say I disliked the book. The bigger revelations (Cass's paternity) and seeing Pietro for the first time, those moments were amazing. The continued conversational tone was great as well.But then, you get the new character, Yo-Yoji, who to me seems to stick out like a sore thumb. Why spend a whole book explaining the special relationship between Cass and Max Ernest only to have a third character ruin the two-ness of them? He seems to have no chemistry with either character, and is a male Mary Sue.So we've got a new riddle, trying to figure out what the Secret is, and a still uncaptured Dr. L and Ms. Mauvais on the loose. Sequel material, but like I said, I'm scared about the potential sequels. The excitement of the first book was all the awesome reveals in a row, and it never got boring, while in this one, I'm sad to say there were parts that I felt were dull and should be skipped.I did enjoy the last...erm...first chapter though! Bringing Amber and the Skeltons deeper into the story was a good move, I'd say. It's nice to see an evil enemy be the same age as the protagonists, for once. (as well as being someone they didn't exactly like to begin with =P)I'd like more info on P. Bosch though. I hadn't actually thought of the P.B. thing until the interview, now that's interesting stuff, there!

I bought this for a student who needed the second in the sequel... He loved it!

This book will teach about friendship in a way you probably never imagine. Cass and Max-Ernest have decided to join the Terces or (witch is secret spelled backwards by the way) they make 2 new friends one of witch is a magical creature made in a bottle. Cass is descendent of a jester who made the sound prism. And struggles to find out her family history. Max-Ernest is having trouble sharing cass with there other new friend. And watch as They get one dangerous step towards unlocking the secret!

This is a 4 star book. It was great but it got boring. This is great for young readers who love mysteries. Great book for adults too. Read the entire series and you will never forget the story line. After finishing this book I wanted to read it all over again. This is a book that you will enjoy with no doubt.

My daughter starts a lot of books. She finishes very few of them. This series has been the exception. She carried the first book around with her to read whenever she has the chance. Fortunately, I could take advantage of that and load up on the rest of the books to keep her reading. The description of this book says that it is for grades 4-6. My daughter is in 6th grade and reads a lot of challenging books for school. That she chooses this series to read for enjoyment says a lot. I don't think it is particularly challenging, but that's okay with me!

Fun, entertaining read for 8-12 - both of my kids enjoyed the story, humor, and witty remarks so much we ended up buying most of the series by now.

I started reading this series to my two daughters and even I fell in love. Start with the first book and read in order. Great way to spend time together and the content is appropriate.

My son ( a 9 year old) and I have been reading this series together. He loves it! It is a mystery novel with lots of comedy. The author often pulls the reader in an aside and provides lots of comedy. The story is about three friends that must find clues to solve a mystery. Very engaging and exciting. Highly recommend.

I am eleven years and this book is a very good one ,i have read the first book by bye PD and that book I personally found much better and more gripping and more of a cliff hanger and could not stop reading , this book however is gripping and quiet a cliff hanger , but I guess it didn't attract me as a reader that much well at least as much as the other one . But this is a review an it was a good book and I intend to buy the next book. Great by and well ... i will recommend you read the first book before reading this one ! Great value for the money ! Only recommended to those who can keep a Secret and those who enjoy adventurous books , . 5 well deserved stars are for this book as I honestly enjoyed it ! Some people do say do not judge a book by the cover howeve this book if judge t

Written by my daughter: Honestly, this is the best book I’ve read yet! It’s funny yet adventurous. The best book ever! Good quality, humorous, and amazing language! Probably more for children 9-12 though.Only one thing.. I NEED TO KNOW HIS/HER NAME!!

This was read quickly by an appreciative recipient. Apparently part of a must read series (and the reader concerned is widely read so this assessment is not taken lightly!)

I absolutely love this book and series because they are really different in the first one it was about smells and colours but this one is about sound and I think it is even better! Cass and Max-Ernest now members of the terces society are joined my a boy called Yo-Yoji and they are trying to get to the homunculus before the Midnight Sun. It is really gripping and I loved every second of it.

Words of my 10 year old daughter who loves Harry Potter, Jacqueline Wilson, Diary of a Wimpy kid etc She has not put this series down since she started. Gripping she said! :) Great set of books so far
