"Eddie finds himself in more trouble as he chases after the Anti-Droods. Both Molly and Eddie die in this one but there's a cliff hanger for the next novel I can't wait! "
— Chris (4 out of 5 stars)
“Eddie’s hip, breezy narrative makes tagging along with enough introspection to make him a multidimensional hero instead of a simple caricature…Filled with fun gadgetry, humor, and underneath it all some pointed observations about loyalty, family, and the human quest for immortality.”
— RT Book Reviews (4 stars)“Gripping, fast-paced, emotionally intense…Fans of the series will be delighted by the deft combination of urban fantasy adventure, sharp-edged sarcasm, and treachery upon treachery.”

— Ron, 8/11/2010" The only thing I didn't like about this book is that I have to wait a whole year for the next one. "
— Kristin, 7/22/2010" Like all of Simon's books this one makes good with the comedy and the funny names. Although I will warn you there is a bit of a curve ball at the end. "
