it was amazing

So, this was the end to the incredible series that is Invisible Fiends. I really don't know what to say about it other than WOW!
I don't really want to do a huge review like the others so I'll give it my best shot because I'm 'such a hero'.
I was so emotional reading this book because;
1.It was the last ever one.
2. The twist in the this last book.

I don't know about you guys, but I sobbed through the last few pages. I honestly couldn't help it, it just came out, DON'T JUDGE ME! Anyway, part of the reason why I cried is because, I had been on, what was like a journey basically. It was like I was there. I have read many books written in first person, but never have I felt like I was the main character in any of them. The book is written such a way to make probably anyone feel that way, (maybe without the crying part), I congratulate you Barry on your amazing brain.
Barry came to my primary school in 2010,(I think), to sign books for the kids in our school. After that was break, and hardly no one was outside, and the people who where outside, where reading his book, like the other kids, who actually asked to stay in side and read. I was one of them, if you where wondering. This went on for one whole week. That's how amazing the series is, you have to carry on reading it. Everyone in my family got hooked on it too. Even my dad who dislikes fiction.
The story line for the series is like nothing I have read before. Ever. Totally full of total coolness,(which is cool by the way). I suspect that this series is targeted at boys, am I correct? But I loved it and I'm a girl. If you don't know anything about the series I'll tell you little bits right now. The main character is a teenage boy called Kyle. His childhood imaginary friend, Mr Mumbles, comes back to kill him on Christmas day, while he's home alone. A girl called Ameena comes and saves Kyle by hitting Mr Mumbles in the face with a baseball bat.(Nice.) From then on, Kyle and Ameena are in it together for a mixed journey of horror and fantasy.
I love you have all have or are going t enjoy it. It's a book of awesomeness. Buy it. Now!
