This is the first Eoin Colfer book I have read. I was not drawn to the characters of Myles and Beckett. I did not want anything bad to happen to them. They're children, after all, but I was not able to care much about the action or plot. It felt too similar to other books I've read. Perhaps having the background from the Artemis series would have helped me to feel more attached. I wanted to like this, as I've heard so many good things about the Artemis series. I was disappointed.

The book is silly and fun, lots of puns. The colorful cover will definitely draw in young readers, who will also like the tech toys these boys have at their ready disposal, as well as the non-stop action. While not the book for me, I'm sharing my copy with a younger reader who I know will love it.
