My 17 year-old daughter recommended this book to me because she loved it! The book was written by the creator of CSI, which I do not watch. This is an exciting, quick read about a serial killer. The killer's moniker is Sqweegel but he is not just any killer, he is a Level 26 killer. Killers are ranked on a 1 - 25 scale. To put it in perspective Mark David Chapman was a mere 7. Bundy a 17 and Gacy a 22. Sqweegel is the worse of the worst giving him a new level all to himself.

This book was interesting and different because it is cyber interactive. As you read the book you can go to Level26.com and watch video clips of the scenes and characters in the book. I found this to be a bit distracting because I am not near a computer when I read. I simply marked the pages that noted the video clips with post-it flags and watched the videos later. If you enjoy reading about serial killers, secret government agencies and suspense you will enjoy this book.
