The Hunchback Assignments Audiobook

" Steamed punk adventure novel for kids! It was alright. "

" An inventive tale with many interesting aspects, but the overall "this is what the bad guys are planning" plot is kind of confusing and disappointing. Good cast of characters, though. "

" This is an excelent book. It has very interesting characters and settings. I will DEFINITELY read the sequel! "

" This is really more of a 3.5 stars, but it was entertaining. Felt a bit like an HG Wells book. "

" A really good book, shows how someone with an ugly face, can change the world. "

" Great read! Love the characters. "

" all i can say is this book is fricken awesome. i love how its a mystery but it also includes another story, one of the main character and all his struggles with his face. its exiting and sad and sweet and it makes the reader think about all different aspects of society and how its not perfect because we're always judging everyone around us. anyways... i really lovved reading this book i couldnt even put it down untill i was done! "

" a little bit frightening. it has a kind of steampunk-frankenstein feel, and it wasn't always pleasant. but a very interesting story and plot. "

" Clever, concise, and a cool concept. A recommended read. Combine steampunk, fantasy, and just a hint of romance. Interesting plot--curious to see where the adventure leads next. "

" That was...disturbing. "

" Better than expected I have always been curious about this series. Good to recommend to anyone who liked the Leviathan trilogy but not quite as excellent. Will definitely move on to book 2. "

" Fun! That's the best way to describe Slade's swashbuckling novel. There's fun to be had for all, but younger readers will especially enjoy reading the adventures of Modo, a teenage covert operative working in 1870's London. "

" Modo is a hunchback with an amazing ability...he can transform his looks to appear to be someone different. He travels across the tops of London to help stop a plot to control the government. This is the beginning of what could be a great series. "

" Steam punk for a younger YA audience "

" Good adventure, Modo is a character you can really wrap your mind around. Looking forward to reading the next one. "

" A Dorothy Canfield Fisher Award Nominee for Vermont. I can see these will likely be a series, but I just had a hard time getting into the characters and getting a good feel for the era. Kids might like them though. "

" I enjoyed it, I enjoyed it a lot. Some parts were really hard to read through, and he did a really good job of keeping it intense. It was a fun read. "

" In a nutshell, the hunchback of Notre Dame vs. Doctor Hyde. "

" It seems wrong to say that I enjoy Modo's plight, but I seem to have a soft spot for scarred heroes. An enjoyable 2nd novel in the Hunchback Assignments. "

" 3.5 stars Still have a lot of fun reading it. This time Modo meets a French spy and gets on a submarine commanded by a group that is trying to build a utopia under the sea. Lots of nods to 20K Leagues. It was over a bit too quickly for me. I wanted a bit more. "

" The first book was much better "

" This is the 2nd vol. of the Hunchback Assignments and continues the story of the 2 teenage spies- Modo & Octavia- with overtones of Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Fascinating... "

" I didn't read the first in the series so that might have helped me enjoy the story more. "

" Loved the spooky underwater nature of this instalment. Modo is much more sympathetic, and it was lovely to see just how much everyone else has come to be fond of our hunchback-y little friend. A great read! "
