I liked reading this book a lot, especially the action parts. I enjoyed that, in addition to a lot of action, there were also a lot of funny parts, one of my favorites being the beginning scenes. There were a few small parts that could get…

Everyone needs to read this series. I’ve gone through all eight books twice now, and I’d do it a third time.

This book was very interesting and exciting! The story is about a group of children who get sent to a secluded island that is home to The Higher Institute of Villainous education, Hive for short. The schools purpose is to train the next…

I expected a lot more action and adventure from this book written with a male protagonist, Otto. The first two thirds of the book is a little slow, explaining how and why each character has been brought to the island headquarters of…

A solid start to a brand-new series, this is an amazing book. Set in a prison/school for future villains, the main characters move forward together on their way to what seems like villainhood but turns out to be true friendship and trust.…

This was a solidly okay book. From what I've heard, it's a series that gets better with the next books though.

Hive is a beautiful start to a promising series. Lacks a little more character development and I must confess I have put it down for books like the Rose Society. (But seriously its hard to compete with a book like that) but I would…

As you go into the world of H.I.V.E, you will see some really intense, funky, spine chilling, funny and exciting moments. (Jaw droppers included). It starts off a bit slow, you might be like "meh this boring" but as you read, 99%…

I found this book to be OK. I read this after finding that Mark Walden writes like Robert Muchmore but this isn't really my style. In saying that, I did have to read the whole series to see how it ended. If you are more into…

Quotes from the book: " ... detailing one nefarious plot after another, each one seeming more devilishly cunning than the last one." and "When you graduate from H.I.V.E. you will be the trailblazers, the cutting edge of evil, leaders for…

It's exciting, funny and a great twist to the usual hero villain portrayals. Definitely a must read!

There is 6 books in all the princeton public library has up to the 5th. I have one word to describe this series AWESOME! I love the action and there is a hint of romance between otto and laura and between shelby and wing. Wing's character…

what can i say? awesome story, awesome characters, evil criminal masterminds... who needs more? the whole series is great... but some of the later books get a little repetitive in concept

This evil GENIUS reminds me of myself. Indeed

VERY GOOD BOOK, although it does really remind me of Artemis Fowl. The only thing I have a problem with is the fact that in the helicopter, apparently Otto lost his memory, and then later he does have his memory, but it has no mention…

This book is really funny I loved it and recommend it to others.

This book was written with a terrific sense of humor! The characters were, at times, less than realistic, but I suppose that only makes a better supervillian!

It's a good book with gripping action. The plot itself was slow and only took off after a while, but the sequel, and its probable sequel all build a story with an immersive environment.

It is an interesting subject and I can't wait for the next book.

This was an excellent book, full of action, but the problem is, it shows that there is a sequel to this book, but I cannot find it anywhere, and am desperately wanting to know the ending.
