We almost stopped reading this one halfway through because it was a carbon copy of the first. But after the plane crash, it got really good. We loved the 2nd half of the story. Left us on the edge of our seats for the 3rd

Read aloud for my boys. I don’t think I’ve ever had to stop reading so that they could catch their breath from laughter more for any of the book. And! The alliteration! Looking forward to seeing how the series wraps up.

Addison was just too much in this book. His know-it-all attitude was even more over the top in this one. He often talks back to the adults and I was just not interested in continuing this one.

I don't remember when I read this. Took me a while to get through it, though. Whenever I put it down, I didn't really feel like picking it up again.
CONS OF ADDISON COOKE AND THE TOMB OF THE KHAN
There was another attempt at character development. At least this time it was started at the beginning of the book. But it was totally forgotten about for most of the middle, then picked up again at the end, as if the author was like 'oh wait, need this! haha'. Me at him: haha NO.
Addison really seems to like girls who have black hair and come from a foreign country based on their LOOKS. He's not a good role model.
Again, none of these characters are good role models. They steal constantly.
Most of the humour was 'meh'.
PROS OF ADDISON COOKE AND THE TOMB OF THE KHAN
"You can sleep when you're dead."
OVERALL
This book was pretty 'meh' to me. I didn't hate it with passion, and I didn't even really like it. It's like it wasn't worth feeling over??
I noticed in the back that it mentioned the author is a screenwriter, so I think that, while this maybe might have been okay on screen, not so much in book form. He's more suited to movies than books. But I did see a *slight* improvement to his writing from book one.
