Although I like it when Cadel has a conscience, it's fun to watch him make elaborate plans and play tricks; I hope to see more of that! The only thing I would change would be the ending. I liked it when Prosper was Cadel's father, not Chester (I hope I got that name right), who Cadel himself described as a wimp. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next book!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954089410160856120.post-58103530009305417222012-10-02T11:16:05.425-07:002012-10-02T11:16:05.425-07:00my fav character is probably the twins!

I loved Saul also but I felt that Fiona should really just take a hike. I hated how she treated Cadel. He's not a little kid. He has already showed everyone he can take care of himself. The book was good but I feel that without Fiona, it would be a bit better. Having said that though, I did like Fiona in the third book. She treated Cadel fairly and like his age. Cadel is such a genius, it kills me. The worst part of the whole book was probably the beginning because it was a bit tedious. I feel that I could write a 5 thousand word essay on this book, no, let me take that back. I could write a 10,000 word essay on the whole series. I constantly am thinking about Cadel and really the whole series. I am often found sitting in my room, staring at the wall. I am mentally reviewing every single part of the Evil Genius series. I wish there were more in the series. But I think that the first book is still my favorite. Well that's just my opinion, and everyone's got one. <br /><br /> -EG Fanatic<br /> IQIQnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954089410160856120.post-15405010540544802822011-11-07T17:33:39.002-08:002011-11-07T17:33:39.002-08:00This is a horrible book nuff said.

Don't buy it borrow it from the library it's not worth the money.<br /><br />My reason: First of all the book lacks the feel of it's predecessor mainly due to the fact that now it turns in to a typical superhero book it's the good guys verses the bad guys and the good guys are going to win. As in the first book it gives the perspective of the bad guys.<br /><br />Like most books the first is always better then the second and so forth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954089410160856120.post-2223038123980217412011-06-17T23:07:36.769-07:002011-06-17T23:07:36.769-07:00The trailer is so stupid, i did not at all think t...The trailer is so stupid, i did not at all think that cadel was a boy with long black hair and no glasses very bad trailer, book is good overall but Dr. Roth has to be my favorite cause hes smart and evil in a good way.

(and ended up thanking fate that i did.) I spent half the night up reading it under my bed, finishing it just this morning, and patiently waiting through three parts for the fourth part and prosper(liked it better when he was called Thaddeus) to appear and take things in hand, because let me tell you, it all gets so much better when he's around. I have a personal pet theory, see, that prosper isnt really that evil because he has one redeeming feature: he really cares about Cadel. illustrated in a few choice paragraphs i read in the fourth part- but no spoilers. I am convinced cadel feels the same way. I am waiting with barely contained anxiety for genius wars to come out in the U.S. so i can see this theory prooved once and for all. Please, dont let me be disappointed! this series is one of my new favorites, i cant stop thinking about it!Kyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268313184672478841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954089410160856120.post-87857130448485981112010-08-06T10:37:34.724-07:002010-08-06T10:37:34.724-07:00I'd have to say that Prosper English is my fav...I'd have to say that Prosper English is my favorite character ( fangirl squeals), well along with Alias. :D<br /><br />Genius Squad was a really good read in my overall opinion.

By the time ...Overall, I really liked Genius Squad. By the time I reached part four, the book grabbed me by the sleeve, tied me to the chair, and wouldn't release me until I finished.<br /><br />Catherine Jinks is really good at creating suspense, and literary tension. I know some people think that until Prosper showed up, it was boring, but frankly that's one of the reasons I liked the book. How it kept me happily entertained by a world of technology that made <i>me</i> feel like the genius until the point in the book where the plot really escalated. <br /><br />The one downside is, that I hated practically every character on Genius Squad. I didn't think any of them (with the exception of Cadel and Sonja) were believable. Lexi, Devin, and Hamish particularly got on my nerves because they were too flat, too uninteresting, too over-the-top. ON THE OTHER HAND there were some fantastic new and returning characters, too. I loved Saul. But I have to say Cadel is my favorite, along with Prosper English.<br /><br />In all, Genius Squad was a great sequel and I'm excited to read the next one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954089410160856120.post-87540241038830923392010-06-25T09:23:07.910-07:002010-06-25T09:23:07.910-07:00Had a very, very exciting turn at the end.Had a very, very exciting turn at the end.Androclusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954089410160856120.post-66649873409143469782010-06-24T08:11:26.661-07:002010-06-24T08:11:26.661-07:00One last thing.

It's my favourite book that I would consider a kids read (you know, for teens). I've re-read it a few times, actually.<br /><br />I absolutely love how 3-D the characters are. Catherine made sure to make a point that her characters were more then just stick figures that act as you'd expect them to- if that even makes sense. <br /><br />Especially Prosper. I'm giddy with excitement at the very thought of reading the next book and seeing how he reacts to the fact he isn't really the father. <br /><br />I keep trying to predict things, as I am usually good at that. For some reason I figure Prosper would already know, and accept him anyway, though that is probably just me trying to be witty. That and my idea of how his mother might actually be alive. Who knows. Anything could happen at this point.<br /><br />Catherine, if you are reading this, you are an inspiration. I am just now starting to research on you and your books so I have no idea how you work, but if I find out that there is a way to meet you at some book club thing or whatever I'm sure I'll figure it out. You are the only author that I have found myself counting down the months when waiting for the next book.

I'm glad he's got Saul and Fiona, as Prosper moves into a more villainous role. I could predict their storyline a mile away but that's a good thing, books like this have to have some grounding somewhere. I'm kind of concerned about his mother, though, she gets a bit too much of the blame here.
