Review
"Colfer has produced new gadgets and new baddies and taken the emotional side of the story much further than before. The characters are more real, they show more feelings, but still retain that fantastical quality that makes these stories classics of our time. What an outstanding sequel..." Mrs. Mad, Mrs. Mad's Book-a-Rama (www.mrsmad.com)
Review
"Once again, the roller coaster of a plot introduces a host of high jinks and high-tech weaponry as Colfer blends derring-do with snappy prose...and repartee....[T]he high-concept premise may be a tad slick for [some], but Colfer's finger is firmly on the pulse of his target market, and...he delivers a cracking good read." Publishers Weekly
