Evil Spy School by Stuart Gibbs
funny
lighthearted
mysterious
2.25
Fun(ny) fact(s): This was the eBook I was reading before I started dry heaving in the plane due to turbulence and scaring the poor guy next to me.
Favorite quote/image: "Just because he turned out to be the biggest jerk of all time doesn't mean everyone else will. Friends aren't always a liability. Sometimes they're the best asset we have." (Ch. 17)
Honorable mention: "Being a bad guy isn't easy, you know, In fact, it's considerably harder than being a good guy, There is a great array of skills and abilities you'll have to master. Most of them are similar to whose which you began studying at the academy: self-preservation, cryptography, facility with weapons. But there's also duplicity, conniving, subterfuge, and killing without making it look like murder, to name just a few things." (Ch. 4)
Why: In my opinion, the quality of the series remarkably drops off after the first two books, but the idea of evil spy school and the introduction of Ashley and Nefarious is definitely fun and entertaining...just not quite swawesome.
