Benedict society #2 submitted by chloeandrews on June 19, 2011, 7:36am This is a good book that I had to read after I had finished the first. But, I didn't find it as good as the first. It was a bit fast paced and didn't seem like it gave you time to just sit back and relax. But, still was a good book.

Stunning Book submitted by 0liviap0pp on June 26, 2011, 8:33am Reynie, Sticky, Kate, and Constance have destroyed the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened and embark on a world-wide scavenger hunt that involves all of their gifts and talents. But when they find out that Mr. Benedict is missing, it turns into a world-wide search for him. I really enjoyed this book. I liked the first one better, but this one was still very good.

Not as good as #1 submitted by camelsamba on July 9, 2011, 9:43pm The plot in this book was more of a treasure hunt than the first. "Treasure" in two ways, I guess - first, it was intended to lead them to Mr Benedict and Number 2 and second, to his hoped-for treasure (a cure for his narcolepsy). The children were in more peril than Mr Benedict intended when he set up the treasure hunt, and some of the encounters with the bad guys seemed unnecessarily violent (even though much of the violence was implied or behind the scenes).

good book submitted by Maria97 on July 26, 2011, 9:38am This book was interesting. When I first started reading it I wanted to quit it because it didn't seem as good as the first. It wasn't as good as the first, but it was still a must read.

(Hey, anyone that's read this book, don't give the main parts of the story away. It really ruins it. ;P )

Great! submitted by Morgsush on June 15, 2012, 1:46pm This is a great book! I would recommend this to anyone.

A Great Sequel submitted by mysterio on June 27, 2012, 1:48am This book was also an amazing book, just like the first one, but it also had a lot of missing elements that I didn't like. I thought that there wasn't enough suspense as in the first book. On the other hand, there was a lot of action and twists and turns.

Mysterious Benedict Society! submitted by shalinigurl on July 3, 2012, 11:53am This is an amazing book (though if you haven't read the series I suggest you read the first book first) it is filled with humor, action, suspense, and a tight friendship which lasts throughout the whole book. IT IS A MUST READ!!!!!!

Great! submitted by alumeng.ajl on July 30, 2012, 4:07pm This is a really good book. It's definitely not as good as the first or the third book, but it's still pretty good.

5 stars! :) submitted by deokeun choi on June 20, 2013, 8:22pm I thought that this was the best series ever-until i read the mark of athena... still, a very good book! i bought it! :)

LOVED IT! submitted by emjrennich on July 2, 2013, 7:43am I thought the whole idea of the mysterious benedict society going on a scavenger hunt type thing is super cool, and i love the end of the book when they save mr benedict!!! It was defidently my favorite book in the series! :)

Great book submitted by sauerr on June 16, 2014, 12:30pm this book is good for learning vocab at ages 8-12. This is a great book for all ages for pleasure too

Awesome!!! submitted by Joanna on June 19, 2014, 4:59pm This book wanted me to just do whatever it takes to make a lot of secret entrances in my house!!!
loved it!

Second book submitted by Fishing Rainbow on August 28, 2014, 2:11pm The second didn't have as much suspense as the first book but it was still good.

Great Book! submitted by aicul on July 30, 2015, 2:07pm I finsheshed the series

Too much relief too early submitted by freopt on March 21, 2016, 12:19pm I think it has too much easiness and it is more straight into the mystery than the other ones. However it is a tiny bit more puzzling. It also doesn't lead into the 3rd book in the series very well.

Awesome submitted by finbarthebeast on July 17, 2016, 11:42am Really good book!

Wonderful read submitted by volunteerchow on August 31, 2016, 2:07pm Wonderful book and series.

bbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddd submitted by Jelliekim on November 1, 2016, 7:08am sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaadddd

Where is Mr. Benedict? submitted by Jessica Primus on March 26, 2017, 11:47am In this book, Mr. Benedict is captured by........... his very own brother! Kate, Reynie, Sticky, and Constance must rescue their beloved Mr. Benedict. I recommend this book to people who like action and teamwork. One of the things I appreciate about this book is that when you think you know what's going to happen, it really has only just begun. I hope this review has helped persuade you to read this book. Will Mr. Benedict be ok? Will the Mysterious Benedict Society save him? Or is it already to late? I hope you enjoy this mysterious book.

The mysterious Benedict Society and the perilous journey submitted by clorenz on June 27, 2017, 12:39pm This book was graet. It was suspenseful, and the kind of book that you don't want to put down. It was full of adventure, and mystery. I love trying to solve the puzzles.

Cool submitted by changlin73 on June 22, 2018, 11:09am This was a really nice book

Great Book! submitted by accountefpd on June 17, 2019, 8:31am This book (and the rest of the series) is really good.

okay submitted by zora on July 16, 2019, 9:22pm So this is an amazing book don't get me wrong. But after the first book, it sort of fell flat. I was expecting so much because of how much I loved the first book and this just wasn't as good.

Good book submitted by jasonc1177 on July 31, 2019, 8:02pm Great author and amazing book!%%%

Good Book! submitted by skalantr on June 13, 2020, 11:44am This is a great book.

Good book submitted by jwiller298 on August 4, 2021, 2:15pm As good as the first book. If you liked the first book, read this one.

Pretty good! submitted by quynhssong on June 12, 2022, 12:48pm I really love the first book. Don’t get me wrong, this book is amazing, but it’s just not as good. Still, you should read it!
