Customer Reviews

good book !¡!

I love mysteries, so this book was interesting to me. I also love books dealing with people my age: and Sebastian and his friends were in the eighth grade... perfect. I loved how there were a few things that could be the cause, but there was one Howe focuses the reader on; however, with the experience i have with stories and dialogues, i knew it could not be the obvious. Overall, I give Eat Your Poison, Dear; A Sebastian Barth Mystery a green light, even when it comes to all the books there are out there...

A poisonously good book!

"Eat Your Poison, Dear" is a great book that I have enjoyed immensely. The story tells about how an entire grade is afflicted with the same sickness, and then reveals the truth behind the disease.I have enjoyed this book for many reasons. I liked the fact that it was a regular novel that contained a mystery for Sebastian Barth (the main character) to solve. You could follow his lines of reasoning, so you were able to understand how he came across the solution to the poisoning in the school. I also liked the unexpected twist that occurred at the end.On the whole, it was written well, but it wasn't an absolutely AMAZING book. It was interesting and amusing, and a great book to read for some summer fun.I'd recommend it for 6th-9th graders.
