Public enemy number two was very good. I really think that this is a good book to read for summer because when you start reading you won’t want to put it down. There is an extremely large amount of violence and gore. I think that you need to read the first before (The Falcon’s Malteser) before you read this book.

This is a really good book. There are a few parts that could be a bit scary for younger kids. But besides that, I really liked it. It could also be a bit funny at parts. there is also a lot of detailed violence.
