Book Reviews of If You're Reading This, It's Too Late (Secret, Book 2)
Book Review: The Bibliophile's Review
Summary: 5 Stars
PB has managed to make the sequel to his novel The Name of this Book is Secret equally as amazing. From the beginning, PB gets your attention, and he never lets go. The constant action revolving around a secret keeps readers on the edge of their seat. He keeps you guessing. It isn't like when the plot seems very obvious, some things aren't very obvious and many important things aren't made too obvious, so the book doesn't get boring. The constant search for the homunculus and his past adds to the excitement level.
The most important part of the book is the writer himself. Unless you have already read The Name of This Book is Secret, you won't know that the author make commentaries throughout the book. He likes to correct the characters, and it adds an element of humor to the book. It also allows insight on other parts of the characters not shown directly in the novel. He also includes an appendix that includes various things, such as instructions to make things mentioned in the book, various codes or stories, and even a interview conducted by himself for himself. The authors commentaries keep you light on your feet and makes you want to continue reading.
Another important part of the book is the conflicts in the book. Whether its Max-Ernest arguing over his feeling in his mind, Cass trying to be a survivalist but also help others, or the fight over the secret to immortality between the Terces Society and Midnight Sun. The conflict heightens as both sides fight to get the homunculus, who knows where the secret might be hidden. Both sides try to get the homunculus to join their side, but who knows? Will he side with the Terces? Or with Midnight Sun? The only way to find out is to read the book.
I strongly suggest this book to anyone who likes reading adventure novels. Also, if you are a lover of Lemony Snicket, then this is also good for you. However, I suggest that you should first read the first book in the secret series, The Name of this Book is Secret.
Summary of If You're Reading This, It's Too Late (Secret, Book 2)
Beware!Dangerous secrets lie between the pages of this book.
OK, I warned you. But if you think I'll give anything away, or tell you that this is the sequel to my first literary endeavor, The Name of This Book is Secret, you're wrong.
I'm not going to remind you of how we last left our heroes, Cass and Max-Ernest, as they awaited intiation into the mysterious Terces Society, or the ongoing fight against the evil Dr. L and Ms. Mauvais. I certainly won't be telling you about how the kids stumble upon the Museum of Magic, where they finally meet the amazing Pietro!
Oh, blast! I've done it again. Well, at least I didn't tell you about the missing Sound Prism, the nefarious Lord Pharaoh, or the mysterious creature born in a bottle over 500 years ago, the key to the biggest secret of all.
I really can't help myself, now can I? Let's face it---if you're reading this, it's too late.
