I am a sixth grader. The book I read is The Death Collector. It is about a man named George, a lady named Liz, and a boy named Eddie. They battle a mad scientist who experiments with dead things and tries to create life.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes lots of action, and adventure. I really liked this book because it really got my imagination going. It was also fun to predict what might happen next, and in the beginning, who's bad and who's not (this is really fun). For example, in my favorite part (described in part below), there is lots of action and suspense, and you never know what to expect. This really helps to grab my interest.

My favorite part is when George and Eddie save Liz and Sir William (a person who works at the British Museum and helps him). Eddie, a former pickpocket, dresses up as a delivery boy and delivers a special clock to the mad scientist, Lorimore. At exactly six o'clock, the clock does something very unexpected, but I will not spoil it for you.

I really like all the surprises in this book. For example, in the beginning, George and his friend Percy are attacked, and Percy is killed. But in his last breath, Percy says "help" and "Lorimore". This makes George think that Lorimore can help, but when he goes to Lorimore's mansion, he is in for a big surprise.

This is a really good book that I think anyone who likes action, adventure, suspense, and mechanical monkeys in army uniforms should read this book. Think this was an extremely great book and I also think everybody should read it.

This is a fabulous blend of mystery and horror for young adults who would like a Victorian scare with high-tech flair. The story was fast paced, and I was riveted to my seat from start to finish in one sitting. I am a big fan of the author's Invisible Detective series and found this another great title to enjoy. Like in the Invisible Detective series, the plot mixes a nice blend of endearing characters with some very nasty villains and lots of action and mystery to keep one turning the pages without stopping. . Two thumbs up for this creepy suspense novel!

I am not the most avid of readers, yet I found this book a page-turner. This is a good, clean story with entertaining science fiction and and a good dose of suspense. I definitely recommend.

The opening line of this book is so fabulous, I bought the book. And wasted my money. By the end of chapter four, the story has jumped from character to character to character, which makes it very hard to really know or care about anyone. And it's confusing. The writing is slow and too detailed. I finally put it down, unfinished, which is extremely rare for me. I love children's fantasy. I read everything. But this one failed to grab my attention.
