18. What was your favorite quote from the book and why?
I would have to say, in my perspective that my favorite quote from the book was when the author stated to
interrupt the story and how it was flowing. Mostly what he would do is he would write a couple of chapters,
with a lot of detail, and then cut them with a chapter that would say why he wanted to end the story there
and what we could do, as readers, to make him continue writing the story. As I was reading this story, I
found it interesting how the author would keep his name a secret but try and reveal as less information as
he could. No matter what he could do, he would make a mistake and always reveal more information than
he wanted to, which was cool and a little confusing, because I wanted to know why he didnt want to
reveal information. But as I continued reading this story, I found it easier and easier to understand. I now
know that the only reason he doesnt want to reveal more information is because he doesnt want the
Villains to find him or us. He thinks that these characters are real and that they could be in danger if he
reveals too much information. The authors name is Pseudonymous Bosch and he writes a Secret
Series in which there are 5 books, all telling a long story of twists and turns and many places where you
feel really frustrated by how he has left the book. In the end, even if you have suffered through his twists
and turns, you will soon find yourself uncovering a secret in which will confuse you as much as it
confused me the first time. But, dont worry, THE NAME OF THIS BOOK IS SECRET (Book 1), IF
YOU'RE READING THIS IT'S TOO LATE (Book 2), THIS BOOK IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU (Book 3),
THIS ISNT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE (Book 4), YOU HAVE TO STOP THIS (Book 5).

17. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would recommend this book to a friend who really likes mysteries and wouldnt mind having to get
frustrated at times because the author is stopping at times. Even though maybe my friend doesnt like this
kind of stories, I would still recommend it because the story itself is really interesting and keeps you
reading. It doesnt stop the pacing, it keeps going but sometimes is at a peak where you just really want to
know what is going on. Of course, one of the things to keep in mind would be that the story has many
things that are still hidden and you need to watch out for. Some stories show what is happening exactly
and this story doesnt. When it reveals characters, it only reveals, in the beginning, small parts of them.
Since, like I mentioned in my last C-E-R, the author is afraid of Villains finding these characters, and
himself, and putting them in danger. Which is the reason why he doesnt reveal everything in the
beginning. He reveals it when its most necessary and when it feels like it should be the most safe in his
opinion. For me, I really like this book because it kept me at my edge of the seat and I couldnt stop
reading. I couldnt put the book down because I wanted to know what happened. This is my main reason

on why I want to recommend this to a friend. Also, the story doesnt finish on the first book, it goes on
throughout the 5 books. So I would recommend you read all books to understand what the author is trying
to portray using these characters, scene and place.
