If You're Reading This, It's Too Late (Secret, Book 2)

I like this book because it is a fun book she learned what a real friend is and lots more.

My son ( a 9 year old) and I have been reading this series together. He loves it! It is a mystery novel with lots of comedy. The author often pulls the reader in an aside and provides lots of comedy. The story is about three friends that must find clues to solve a mystery. Very engaging and exciting. Highly recommend.

One of the best books of ever read by me. Full of drama, suspense, bravery, action, comedy, and an untold secret. I strongly recommend this book to anybody 8+. There is no limit on age because no matter how old you are 8 or 90, you will love this Book. ( Just read the first book of the secret series first! )

I feel like maybe P. Bosch should have just left it with one book, a longer one, sure, which would answer everything, but one book. He/she seems to already be reaching for subject matter, when I'm sure we would have been gratified with just one. Now it seems like it'll be a series of pointless little individual mysteries, each telling us one fact at a time, drawing it out and leaving it more thin and boring each time. This isn't to say I disliked the book. The bigger revelations (Cass's paternity) and seeing Pietro for the first time, those moments were amazing. The continued conversational tone was great as well. But then, you get the new character, Yo-Yoji, who to me seems to stick out like a sore thumb. Why spend a whole book explaining the special relationship between Cass and Max Ernest only to have a third character ruin the two-ness of them? He seems to have no chemistry with either character, and is a male Mary Sue. So we've got a new riddle, trying to figure out what the Secret is, and a still uncaptured Dr. L and Ms. Mauvais on the loose. Sequel material, but like I said, I'm scared about the potential sequels. The excitement of the first book was all the awesome reveals in a row, and it never got boring, while in this one, I'm sad to say there were parts that I felt were dull and should be skipped. I did enjoy the last...erm...first chapter though! Bringing Amber and the Skeltons deeper into the story was a good move, I'd say. It's nice to see an evil enemy be the same age as the protagonists, for once. (as well as being someone they didn't exactly like to begin with =P) I'd like more info on P. Bosch though. I hadn't actually thought of the P.B. thing until the interview, now that's interesting stuff, there!

As a very picky reader, I view this book as amazing and magnificent. I love a good fantasy book and this book has it following mystery and a few comical pointers to it. It takes me into the novel itself as if I was apart of the story. AMAZINGLY AMAZING!!!!!!! Btw, I am only thirteen years old..... :)

My 11 yr old daughter loves this book series and I read the my kids a chapter or two every night and it so exciting that I don't want to stop reading it too,,I HIGHLY recommend these books. The first book in the series is called The Name of this Book is Secret. READ IT!!!!

I bought all the books from the secret series. Very good value for the money.

My daughter starts a lot of books. She finishes very few of them. This series has been the exception. She carried the first book around with her to read whenever she has the chance. Fortunately, I could take advantage of that and load up on the rest of the books to keep her reading. The description of this book says that it is for grades 4-6. My daughter is in 6th grade and reads a lot of challenging books for school. That she chooses this series to read for enjoyment says a lot. I don't think it is particularly challenging, but that's okay with me!

This book is the second of the Secret series, by Pseudonymous Bosch. This book is equally fun as the first one in the series, which I have also written a review for. On these books, I zoomed through them because I couldn't stop reading. There is a deliberately made error on one chapter, which I will not give away. The adventures do not end here; try the third book of the series, but read all of them in order, or else they will not really make sense, like other series books. I recommend this book to everyone who has read the first. The Ghost Writer

First of all I love the entire idea of the series of an author pseudonymously revealing a secret, and the entire set up that goes with it - the book names, the "confidentiality agreements" - it's all quite exciting and gripping to a young reader. The plot in this book never sags and compels you to read on. It mixes in mystery and danger with comedy and with life lessons that the protagonists learn on their adventures. Ideal for the average middle schooler or even mature 9-10 year old readers. However, note that 3rd book onwards, darker concepts such as dealing with death are involved, so discretion should be used depending on reading and maturity level of the reader.

Wenn du dies liest, ist es zu spät... denn dann hast du vermutlich schon den ersten Band der Abenteuer von Cass und Max-Ernest gelesen und weißt schon von dem Geheimnis. Auch in diesem Band spielt der Autor wieder gekonnt mit der Neugier des Lesers, und das ist, wie schon in "the name of this book is secret", wieder ziemlich lustig und spannend. Also, worum geht es in diesem zweiten Band? Cass und Max- Ernest versuchen, in die geheime Gesellschaft Terces aufgenommen zu werden und bekommen schnell ihren ersten "Auftrag"... was genau sie machen müssen, kann ich natürlich nicht schreiben, aber soviel sei verraten: mithilfe eines "magischen" Balls geraten Cass und Max-Ernest auf die Spur eines uralten Monsters. Natürlich sind auch die beiden Bösewichte aus dem ersten Band, Ms. Mauvais und Dr. L hinter genau dieser Kreatur her, in der Hoffnung, dass sie dadurch dem Geheimnis auf die Schliche kommen. "If you're reading this, it's too late" liest sich schnell und flüssig, die perfekte Unterhaltung für zwischendurch. Die Charaktere sind sympathisch (oder richtig schön fies) und ihre Handlungen sind immer gut nachzuvollziehen. Genauso sollte es in einem guten Kinder/Jugendbuch sein. Aber auch Erwachsene kommen durch den Humor des Autors wieder auf ihre Kosten. Auch an der eBook-Umsetzung ist nichts auszusetzen, sehr ordentlich mit Inhaltsverzeichnis etc. Von mir gibt es dafür 5 Sterne.

I am eleven years and this book is a very good one ,i have read the first book by bye PD and that book I personally found much better and more gripping and more of a cliff hanger and could not stop reading , this book however is gripping and quiet a cliff hanger , but I guess it didn't attract me as a reader that much well at least as much as the other one . But this is a review an it was a good book and I intend to buy the next book. Great by and well ... i will recommend you read the first book before reading this one ! Great value for the money ! Only recommended to those who can keep a Secret and those who enjoy adventurous books , . 5 well deserved stars are for this book as I honestly enjoyed it ! Some people do say do not judge a book by the cover howeve this book if judge t
