I really enjoyed this book as it was full of adventure and mystery. The twist at the end was somewhat disappointing and cliche but for the most part it was a wild ride filled with adventure. I especially liked learning about the people of the mist. I think people of all ages will enjoy this book. ( )

The Indiana Jones movie had similarities to this, though I think this wins hands down. I love teen books! ( )

Excellent young adult fiction that also captures the attention of adults. ( )

A pretty decent, if unoriginal, plot is ruined by some pretty choppy and uncharacteristic actions and thoughts from the players. They kept on jarring me into what? but he just did the opposite 2 pages before! and why would anyone do that?.
