If You're Reading This, It's Too Late, a review by Dripping Chocolate

Book Title: If You're Reading This, It's Too Late
Author: Pseudonymous Bosch
Format: Hardcover
Length/number of pages: 373
Price: $7.99

Short Summary: This book is about four characters Cassandra (Cass),
Max-Ernest, and Yo-Yoji. They all go on an adventure to hunt down the homunculus (cabbage face), so Ms. M and Dr. L don’t get the sound prism before it’s too late.

Favorite part: I would have to say my favorite part is when Cass meets the homunculus after she calls on the sound prism hours before. I liked that they go on adventures. There isn't anything I would change.

Rating: 5 out of 5 chocolate bars
Appropriateness: very appropriate for kids ages 8 to 12 and up+
Cover Thoughts: I think the cover really described the book the way I read it. It pops out to readers and it's one of the best book covers of the whole series.

A review on the secret series by SpicyChocolate

Title: The Secret Series
Author: Pseudonymous Bosch
Format: Hardcover
Length/Number of pages: 400
Price: $16.99

Summary:

This crazy, suspenseful series is about two kids named Cass, and Max-Ernest. Written by Pseudonymous Bosch, it is very funny and exciting. The names of the book in the series are: The Name of This Book is Secret, If You're Reading This It's Too Late, This Book Is Not Good for You, This Isn't What It Looks Like, and the newest book, You Have to Stop This. They are very good, and I would recommend the series to everyone who likes to read a fun book.

Strengths: My favorite book was probably the first one, (The Name of This Book Is Secret), because it is a great introduction to the series. It has a lot of plot twists, and it is really funny and good.  My favorite scene is probably when Cass and Max Earnest find the Symphony of Smells.  It was really weird because there were vials of smells in a big case.

Rating: 5 out of 5 chocolate bars
Appropriateness: Fairy- Princess
Cover thoughts: I like all of the covers to the books because they all show some part of the book, but in a secretive way.The illustrations are also really good, and they are by Gilbert Ford.
