So, here's the thing guys -- I loved this book. It reminded me of Coraline or The series of Unfortunate Events. This was a fun middle grade novel with great writing that kept you guessing. The illustrations brought so much to the story and I'm really glad they were included because I don't think it would have worked nearly as well without them. Humor, puzzles, twists and turns. This is a book anyone would love. I would recommend it (and I can't wait for the next book in the series!). 5 out of 5 stars. ( )

Warren the 13th and the All-Seeing Eye was good, but not quite what I was expecting. While it could be put in the Gothic category, there is a Steam Punk element that surprised me. I'm not sure if that's a good thing; at least for me. Middle-Grade readers will probably love it.

Perhaps my problem is that I was expecting a story that was a bit darker like Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events" books. It's close to that kind of darkness, but not quite. Also, the story is rather simple. There isn't much complexity at all, and that leads me to think that perhaps this book was written for the youngest Middle-Grade reader.

Overall, it's still an excellent choice for young readers, especially if they've just graduated from Children's books. Adult readers will likely enjoy reading it aloud to their kids as well. ( )

I love everything about this book: engaging plot, fantastic illustrations, ongoing suspense, and interesting characters. Warren the 13th has everything! I know it’s been compared to the Lemony Snicket series, but I prefer Warren the 13th by a pretty wide margin. This was fun to read, and the illustrations are superb. Books like this are what me fall in love with reading (oh so long ago), and that’s a wonderful thing to be reminded of! ( )

I really enjoyed the illustrations here, especially of Warren's beautiful hair. The story was cute, the ending set up the potential for great future adventures. ( )

“I received this book from netGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is in no way affected my opinion of the book, or the content of my review.”


My first thought after I finished this book is: I love IT!

If my little sister or little cousins knew English I would’ve obliged them to read this book right this second!!

It was fun and exciting to follow young Warren on his treasure hunt, it wasn’t hard to guess what would happen next, but sometimes it completely threw me off the track and left me wondering, “How is the author going to solve this mess?”

This story was refreshing, but most importantly I liked the morals in this book and how warren made the right decisions even if they were not to his likings.
I really recommend this book to younger readers and older as well, go pick it up!.
