If Your Reading This, It's Too Late ..

Sequel to The Name of this Book is Secret, this book dove deeper into the secret of the magician and his brother.  I was able to finish this book in the span of two days because it was so good, and I would recommend this book and The Name of this Book is Secret to anyone who is interested in a good read.  A quote from this book that I liked was actually at the very beginning of the book where it asked us to sign a contract.  The contract said this, "I, the Reader of this Book, certify that I am reading this book for entertainment only. Or to avoid cleaning my bedroom or doing my homework. I will not try to uncover the true identities or locations of the people described in this book. Nor will I try to contact any secret society mentioned in this book. Although the story may concern an ancient and powerful secret, I hereby deny any knowledge of this so-called secret. If I am ever asked about it, I will run from the room. Unless I am on an airplane, in which case I will close my eyes and ignore the person speaking to me.And if all else fails, I'll scream. I will not repeat a word of this book under any circumstances. Unless I just can't help it." This quote goes along so well with this book because of the secret that the book contains.  One question that I have is why is the author so protective of this secret?  I think the answer to this depends on the reader itself because no one really knows the correct answer to this.  It all depends on who the reader looks at this story.  I really enjoyed these two books because of the mystery it holds and if I say anymore, I will give the book away..

The Name of this Book Is .. secret

Q: Cass cracked the door-then stepped back in fright: the room behind the door was occupied by hundreds of people. 
Q: What is the point of all the mirrors in Ms. Mauvias's office?
C: I don't think there really is a point to all the mirrors other than to maybe confuse people.  I think this whole book is really confusing but it is also very good.  As you read you are always wondering what is gonna happen next, and it keeps you into the book.  I would recommend this book to anyone really especially those of you who like mysteries.

The Name of this Book Is .. secret

This book is very interesting and VERY confusing all at the same time.  It is about a dead magician and a secret, and that is all I can say about this book, and apparently that is all the book can tell me as well.  While I was reading this book, I could think of a lot of questions like what is the name of this book? or who are the real characters? or what really happened to the magician? but none of these things can be answered right now, and I'm not even sure if it will be answered by the end of the book.  One quote that I really liked from this book was 
"Please be SILENT and LISTEN
I am the SCHOOLMASTER
and you are in THE CLASSROOM
Just like ELEVEN PLUS TWO equals
TWELVE PLUS ONE,
And even a FUNERAL can be REAL FUN,
You will find my DICTIONARY
is quite INDICATORY
If you want to read my story, just look. . .
THEN UNREAD"
I like this quote because it is a riddle that the magician left behind when he died.  The two main characters Cass and Max-Earnest(even though that is not really their names) found this riddle and had to solve it to get the next clue.  Once they solved it, Cass had to leave and leave their task unfinished.  This book is a real mystery, and although it can be really confusing at times I like the story so far and I can't wait to finish the book!
