Access You Have To Stop This (Secret, #5) Authored By Pseudonymous Bosch Audio Books
series wasn't as great as I expected, to be honest, I know a lot of people love it, but I guess it's just not for me, I was hoping that the last book would give a great ending, but I was underwhelmed, I was not really moved by the characters, The plot was weird. I usually love children's/middle grade books, but this would be easily forgotten, I liked some parts, but it wasn't enough, Good thing the audiobook was well done, I was able to read the series pretty quickly, Now I'm ready to pass the books along to someone who might like them, This book is not a fivestar book,
This book is a FIVE HUNDRED FRICKING BAZILLION star book,
Okayokayokay, Moving on.
I was so excited when I got this book, I was simply ecstatic. I was not disappointed, not at all, The slight bit of romance I know you all were craving and anticipating actually happened, Just a little. A teeny bit. Obviously the girl in the equation is Cass, but the boy Sorry folks, not telling, Also don't get your hopes up, it's not THAT much, but it's better than nothing I guess,
And the Secret, Oh, the Secret. Yes, you obviously do learn the Secret, but I of course am not going to tell because why would I ruin the surprise And yes, it's totally worth a fivebook series.
Totally. When you get to it, you'll think I'm being sarcastic, but really, I'm not, It's quite perfect.
Kudos to Pseudonymous Bosch for his wonderful self of wonderfulness and all of his useless footnotes, Ah, the footnotes.
To Cass: You're amazing even if you're a liberal, ltI'm from Alabama, okay Liberals get shot down here,
To MaxErnest: Thank you for being so funny, Even if you think you're not funny, you really are,
To YoYoji: You're awesome and all but I find it weird how you're Asian yet the only Christian of the trio, Lolz.
I'm sorta sad it ended but I suddenly have this immense craving to write fanfics, And lots of them.
Kthxbainao. Dopoanni, ho concluso una saga, Lacrime di commozione! I had been anxiously waiting for this book, to find the secret, who PB is, what will happen to the midnight sun, and was taken by surprise when it came out.
I had preordered this on my Kindle and one day I turned on my Kindle and there it was! Usually I reread a series before reading the new installment, but honestly, I couldnt resist starting it the moment I saw it.
And let me tell you, it did not dissapoint,
The book opens to Cass and Max Ernest walking to the fire house and thats when you get to the first surprise of the book: Her grandpas are having a garage sale.
. . dun dun dun .
Cass remembers that the Jesters chest was in the firehouse so she quickly scrambles around boxes and boxes of stuff to find it, She gets it safely home thank goodness,
This book focuses on Ancient Egypt, the home town of the Secret, Between mummies, museums, magic, and the Midnight Sun "holy alliteration!" this book will never have a dull moment,
There is even romance and some tears when you say goodbye to MaxErnest, Cass, and YoYoji for the last time during their middle school graduation.
And if Max Ernests garduation speech doesnt make you cry, I dont know what will,
So all in all this was a perfect final installment, especially when you find out who PB is it was exactly who I thought it was!.
stars! The original review is here: sitelink blogspot. com/
Also, this review is,stars, but I always round up,
Attention: Your reporter, Julianna, is being held under our custody for ruining the secret Secret series that may or may not secretly contain the Secret.
In her place we have ask for you to run
out and grab as many copies as you can before The Midnight Sun can get their hands on the secretive Secret.
Thank you. Resume, if you must, but just as a final cry of help, . . You Have to Stop This!
Hey, guys! I'm back! They're watching every word I'm typing, though, so I better be careful before all of my chocolate supply is gone and M I mean, um, others take it for their own pleasure.
You Have to Stop This is the fifth and final book in the critically acclaimed Secret series by Pseudonymous Bosch, If you haven't read the series yet, the first book is The Name of This Book is Secret, Don't read this book without reading the rest of the series first!
I'll start out by answering the one question that everyone wants to know AKA the one question that may very well cost my chocolate supply: Do we learn the Secret
.
. . Yes
No
Kind of.
Here's the thing: I loved this book hey, look! My chocolate, it's back!, There was just as much suspense, humor, and fun in this book like the other ones in the series, We learn so much more about the characters' backgrounds, and this book was truly astoundingit definitely surpassed my expectations, It's very clever on Mr, Bosch's part to add in his usual footnotes and brief interruptions, which works out well and the reader isn't suddenly jolted out from the story with sudden, certain comics concerning rabbits and cats.
. .
Anyway, this book held my attention throughout its entirety, However, the Secret was just, . . unexpected. I knew the Secret was something bigthat much was obviousbut this time, even surprised doesn't justify my reaction, Truly, I was shocked. In fact, I'm still teetering on the fence about how I felt about it, I do have to applaud Mr, Bosch, though, for taking that one big leap,
Overall, this book was wonderfully written and I enjoyed it greatly, I appreciated Mr. Bosch not wrapping up everything and all the characters' futures in a nice, tidy bow, because the very important theme of this story is the Secret and imaginationand I'm sure we all want to hope for the characters a life they deserve whether good or bad, that's your call.
What's that There's a note on my chocolate, . . its empty wrapper.
You Have to Stop This!
Fine, I'll stop. But you better stop stealing my chocolate, . . hey, give that back! My daughter and I read a couple chapters of these books every night before bed, Amazon unfortunately sent us bookinstead of the book two we requested, but the kiddo said she didnt want to return it so here we are reading them out of order.
I think they would be better digested in order So I dont recommend reading them that way, but they can still be followed along with each book is its own self contained story.
That being said the secret was kind of a let down! It was a little bit ambiguous, seemed to hint at more but didnt really give us any reveals.
We still laughed the whole way through, and I think they are clever little books I would recommend for those late Elementary / early middle school years.
sobs
I AM SO SAD THIS SERIES IS OVER, THIS SERIES IS LIKE. THE FRICKEN BEST. I LOVE IT SO MUCH, THANK YOU PSEUDONYMOUS BOSCH.
I have nothing else to say, I really enjoyed this book, I just wish there was a better ending, Saya tidak tahu apakah ceritanya hanya segitu atau memang hanya segitu ceritanya, tapi ending final ini kayak yang dibilang Cass: "Gini doank nih", Tapi buku ini dptbintang lebih di pembaca Internasional, tapi saya tidak merasakan ada sesuatu yang wow kecuali permainan kata di buku ini yang memang fresh.
Apakah permasalahan ada di tahap penerjemahan Saya juga tidak tau, Unik mungkin kata yg tepat untuk menggambarkan buku ini, tapi bukan kata 'bagus', The other side Such a good book! I loved it so much, Very good ending and the Secret was just, . . ah, a great way to end a wonderful series! :D This and other reviews can be found on sitelinkThe Psychotic Nerd
Short and Simple
So the Secret series has come to an end and the Secret is out.
No, I'm not going to tell you the Secret, One thing I can say is that opinion on the Secret is divided, Some folks were disappointed with the Secret, others weren't, I'm of the latter. Honestly, I fully expected to never get the Secret, I fully expected the Secret to have been ripped out of the book by Bosch, I also read A Series of Unfortunate Events and was extremely let down by the fact that I got absolutely no answers, just a leadup to answers.
So, I was already on guard and you know what I am satisfied, I actually think it's kind of funny and completely fits the tone of the series, Also, there were many other things that were answered that had nothing to do with the big Secret because there were other things that were more important.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading this series and maybe one day I'll have to reread them when I want to read some fun middlegrade books.
I don't know if I'll read the author's other series because I'm not sure how he will translate to another series, but maybe I'll pick it up one day.
I was really happy throughout the entire book series, The way the P. B. tells it as if heʻd experienced it all and he did go through it all, The twists amp turns were good and interesting,
Ok, Plot Overveiw
The last book was really a good way to tie it all together, We have Cass, M. E. , and YoYoji going on yet another adventure to protect the Secret from the Midnight Sun, Only, this time, itʻs from an invisible Pharaoh, And Cass finds a scroll to learn the Secret and finds a scroll with it written on it, Unfortunately, it turns to dust and she has to translate what she remembers, Itʻs just pure coincidence that the guy who wrote the Secret is mummified and Cass has a ring that can bring him back to life and then the mummy will tell her the secret.
But, just when she thinks that she got lucky, Cass and her friends accidentally break the mummies finger off, Then, they are accused of stealing the mummy after it goes missing, The rest of the book is basically Cass trying to learn the Secret and the kids trying to prove their innocence, Thatʻs the basic thing, but a lot of other stuff happens,
There were somethings that I was not expecting,
Like, the romance issue, Ok, in the third book, itʻs shown that YoYoji is being a bit more polite to Cass, But, in this rendition of the book, you can sort of tell that thereʻs something there , Some things are subtle, but others are things that a halfwit could see, Like, on page:
YoYoji glanced at Cass, It was almost as if he didnʻt like the idea of someone else givng her a ring
Or when Cass is in a dress and they awkwardly say how "nice" she looks good nice or bad nice, I have no clue.
Or when Cass is secretly sad that her friends denied marrying her not sure if thatʻs supposed to be sad, sweet, or weird, Or when Cass does some more girly stuff hormones, I guess, gets her nails done, and they Boys say how nice it looks, Or when Cass amp YoYojis pinkies interlock and he can feel a tingly sensation, Those are all I can recall, If you could squint and find others, . .
Good for you.
Iʻve never thought of the Secret Series as a Romance book probably because itʻs not, PB probably only did that to get the attention of readers who want a juicy love triangle if thatʻs what he was going for.
I couldʻve done without it, but I gotta admit it does stir up some things I didnʻt realize was there,
And Cass leaves her backpack behind, I mean, she wears it though out the entire series and just takes it off, Itʻs like Lord Voldemort with a nose, Maybe is signifies that sheʻs no longer the strange survivalist girl that was looking for poison in the school grounds, Sheʻs changed and grown up since the first book,
And then thereʻs the whole deal with Dr, L. When he came over the first time, of course, I was suspicious, When it was revealed that he died, I didnʻt really cry, I felt bad, but it wasnʻt a book scene strong enough to make me bawl,
Another thing,
When I thought that the Secret was I joke, I wanted to scream "THATS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT!!! A FLIPPING CHICKEN JOKE THATʻS OLDER THAN MY GRANDMOTHER!! THIS IS WHAT THE ENITRE SERIES IS BASED OFF!!! OR DID PB JUST FORGET ABOUT THE SECRET AT ALL AND MADE THIS UP!!!"
Needless to say, I was mad.
Then, I read the rest of the book, It sort of made sense, but it took me four or five reads to fully understand, Even now, Iʻm not sure if I fully understand, I believe that the Secret is the other side of things or to see the other side of something or the Secret is on the other side.
Iʻm notsure
Last thing,
I WANT MORE!! I want to see what happened to M, E. and Cass and YOYoji and the Teres society, I feel like, even though it feels over, thereʻs something more, Well, hopefully, PB might talk about it in one of his later books, Or at least have a little epilogue about it,
All in all, it was a good book, Nothing much to complain about, .
