great end! submitted by alumeng.ajl on June 25, 2011, 11:57am I loved this book! it was definitely my favorite in the series. I'm sad to see the series go, but this was a great end!

Great Book submitted by 0liviap0pp on June 26, 2011, 8:40am This was a wonderful book. When a sudden loss of all power, strangely including radios and walkie-talkies, Reynie, Sticky, Kate, and Constance discover that Mr. Curtain and his cronies have stolen the computer that Mr. Benedict took from him to stop him from destroying the world. The four kids go off on a journey and find clues to unravel an evil plan set by Mr. Curtain. This was a great ending. Yet there is another book called The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict, which takes place before the kids.

not as good as the first submitted by camelsamba on July 9, 2011, 10:14pm I know for a fact I didn't enjoy this one as much as the 1st. I can't exactly pinpoint why. I felt like there was a little too much battling with Mr Curtain and the Ten Men, and not enough working together to figure things out. While the children once again needed each other's skills, it felt more like they were additive rather than multiplicative (if that makes any sense at all).

amazing submitted by sunitas on August 2, 2011, 5:59am awesome book even did my report on it

Amazing submitted by Morgsush on June 15, 2012, 1:44pm This is an amazing book, the third book in a wonderful series.

There is no word to describe it! submitted by shalinigurl on July 3, 2012, 12:03pm this book finishes the series better than ever though I am depressed for the series really is done I at least know that it is finished with Reynie, Sticky, Constance, and Kate as there usual amazing selves! It must be read for it really is the best book in the series! Please read it!

The end submitted by Fishing Rainbow on August 28, 2014, 2:15pm Great ending to the series although I'm kind of sad that there were,only three books. I think it is a must read.

Great submitted by Henry Grimsby on July 13, 2015, 10:30am Finally a conclusion!

Great Finale submitted by finbarthebeast on July 17, 2016, 11:44am This was a great end to a great series. Definately worth reading. I loved it.

Disappointing submitted by bookworms on August 25, 2016, 5:48pm The rest of the series was awesome, but this book was SUCH a letdown! I felt like to much of the book was set in the old prison. I also felt like it was missing something like a twist at the end of the book. Trenton Lee Stewart could have done much better with this one.

Great read submitted by volunteerchow on August 31, 2016, 2:09pm Great book and series.

Really Good submitted by clorenz on June 27, 2017, 12:41pm Second best in the series. Very suspenseful. I liked how Stewart gave so much description.
