IMO there are a lot of different adventure stories for children that are a lot better.
(btw, the author is actually a really smart woman, she compiled things that children really like, and created a targeted series of books, that, like the tvshow Lost, are mentally addictive.)

Its the true story behind the movie "Syriana"!
Nice! I was planning on reading it too, my uncle suggested it.

Also, the new Paul Auster books, and the new Brett Easton Ellis thrillers are great!
