Review

Nelson's sister gets kidnapped. By accident, Nelson unleashes the 7 deadly sins that live within him as monsters. His monsters convince Nelson that he can rescue his sister with their help, and so the adventures begins. There are fun drawings throughout that add to the humor. The monsters, even though they seem scary at first are silly and have some great jokes. The kidnapping is serious and there are some suspenseful moments but there is plenty of humor to lighten up the story. This is a really fun read, with a bit of suspense and some action packed fight scenes that are sure to keep readers wanting to read until the end (and laughing while they do).

Overall Book Score: excellent
