Ok, the tension in this book was a bit too high for me. It touched on the closest thing I have to a phobia - public humiliation. And their public humiliation was off the charts.

I felt that in this book Dan seems to have regressed as far as his maturity goes. He was just *really* babyish for the first half of the book. ( )

This book is about two teenagers, Amy and Dan, who are trying to stop J.Rutherford Pierce from conquering the world.Pierce and his family stole a serum that makes you stronger,smarter,more artistic,and a genius and took it.I liked this book because it was suspenseful so I didn't want to put it down. I also learned how much siblings are like your best friend in the universe. ( )

Unstoppable Book One: Nowhere to Run takes up with the Amy, Dan, and the other Cahill kids after the 39 Clues. Once again, they are on the run for their lives and in a race to save the World. I am looking forward to reading more in the series, just not by this particular writer.

In this volume, the kids find out that someone got their hands the serum and plans to take over the world. They must seek
out the antidote and find a way to get it to the thief.

I have enjoyed most of the writers who contributed to the 39 Clues series. However this volume is a bit different in writing style. The writer uses choppy sentences and terrible grammar. Young kids, even more than the rest of us, should have the opportunity to read well written books.

Thank goodness they went back to one of the original authors for this book. Still violent, but the swearing and such weren't in it.
Liked the whole "National Enquirer" type sleezeball media that made it so obvious just how wrong they get things and cant' be trusted.
Though I am getting a little tired of the premise of all of this, it does seem to keep the kids entertained (so far). ( )

Amy and Dan Cahill have survived, no mean feat given how many family and friends have passed on around them. But a new threat has emerged, one that has power beyond anything they've been familiar with before. They're being framed as reckless rich kids and someone is dismantling their world around them. And it appears that someone has gotten ahold of the serum and is now using it against the world. And only Dan and Amy can stop it.

I missed the whole 39 Clues series the first go around. I mean, I saw the books but just wrote it off as something that looked...hooky. But I read this book (and yes I'm aware it's the third series) and wow...I was blown away by how engaging and captivating this world is and how great the characters are and I can't wait for the next book to come out (or to catch up with the other books in the series.)

If you're like me and you haven't read the previous books, you can still easily jump into this series without getting too lost from previous books. I highly recommend this book and give it 5 out of 5 stars. ( )
