Review: Wonderful book! - What would you do if you were threatened by an evil that forced you apart from you family and your friends? Forced to be kept in a safe house surrounded by security guards, protecting you from an evil that no one in town has a clue about. Not able to be seen or go further than the gates that keep you "captive". Four witty children are held in this situation in Trenton Lee Stewart's novel, The Mysterious Benedict Society to try and figure out how they can put a stop to all the nonsense they have gone through. Harnessed down by many challenges with Mr. Curtain, Mr. Benedict's evil twin brother, the Society works together to secure the town's and their own safety. The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma is a great novel full of surprises in every chapter. It touches subjects such as losing someone you love and the power that kids can hold. Mr. Benedict is very protective of his "orphans" and makes sure they will be safe from the evil Mr. Curtain and his Ten Men. In this book, Mr. Benedict learns how much he really loves the society only until she is gone. This touching event makes for a very emotional twist in the book. I really appreciated how they showed that kids can have amazing futures and can do hard things, just like adults. The novel has a theme of the kids being very bright children and having special abilities. Kate is very prepared and thinks of the situation very quickly and is very brave. Reynie, who is a very bright young boy is very kind, can solve problems and riddles quickly, and is a good leader. Sticky is extremely smart. He remembers everything he hears and reads. Constance, a three year old, has a lot of potential and has a special power that is revealed in the book! I loved how the kids are the ones with the superior power, but use it for the good of others. I think that I really connected with Reynie and Kate. Reynie is smart with logical situations and is really amazing at solving out problems. Kate on the other hand is always prepared with her bright red bucket and will put herself in any uncomfortable situation. Each one works with one another to stop evil and make sure that the Whisperer, a super secret and powerful machine, is used for good purposes only. This magnificent book is the last book to a 3-book trilogy that is written by Trenton Lee Stewart, a creative yet challenging author. A writer that makes his words come to life and makes you feel like you're there with Reynie, Sticky, Kate, and Constance. This skillfully written novel contains mystery, action, intrigue and loss in a neat package that is not just entertaining but challenges your mind to grow and imagine the situations. Brimming with rich details, Mr. Benedict's vibrant "orphans", spontaneous dialog, and vivid scenery makes this a book you will not want to put down! This book has very smooth reading because of the rich content and descriptors used. Stewart uses such description in his writing, making it feel natural. One of my favorite parts of the writing is the riddles that many of the characters used to solve the issues and get to another step. Trenton Lee Stewart is so clever with each one that you will find yourself dumbfounded when you figure out the answer. Even though it is so vividly written and it makes for a wonderful read, some of the words are challenging, therefore making it harder for young readers to understand. In addition, the book isn't very humorous, but still makes for a very eventful and entertaining read. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a ton of action and mystery. I would mostly direct the book to students in grades four to eight because of the difficult word choice. I think it was an amazing conclusion to the series, but I wish there were more coming out! The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma will keep you on the edge of your seat with every turn of a page.
Review: Good book - Great book for children and adults as well. Great story telling

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book
*by M***D on June 8, 2025*

Great book for children and adults as well. Great story telling

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful adventure!
*by A***W on January 26, 2014*

This is the 3rd book of the series The Mysterious Benedict Society. As the previous ones, it is packed of adventures, twists, and trills. I couldn't put this book down,it was just so exciting! After reading the first book, I was hooked. I was already emotionally attached to the characters. In this book, SOMETHING WAS ALWAYS HAPPENING. And if you read the book closely, you'll notice that Trenton seems to always find a way to make something happen. Sometimes the characters may not expect (and the book will give hints of unsuspecting things occurring!) and other times someone has already noticed (usually Kate or Reynie). I don't know, this book is just such a thriller with twists here and there. Take my word (and others' as well) and read the sample. Just read the sample. Then you will feel this pull and your finger will already be clicking the price and buying it (either through ebooks or an actual book your hands can touch). ...this book is truly amazing.
