I wanted to give this book 4 stars, only because of lots of "LOL", I had a great time reading it. but to have a fair rating, the plot was good & engaging, but not that much interesting to make me obsessed, though it made me curious. (maybe it's because the lack of magic)
we discovered more about the history of the Cahills & its branches. (I love this branch!)
I was solving the puzzles exactly with Amy & Dan & it was such a cool feeling!
quick read.
Fun!

Music!

I really Dan & Amy & Nellie!
& Saladin!
I'm really curious which branch these two are.

Vienna, Salzburg and Venice – the treasure hunt continues. The author of this book is not the same as the previous book’s, so the writing style is noticeably different. It bothered me first, but as the story progressed, I got used to it.
Still exciting, entertaining story. Recommended!

Una nueva historia de los hermanos huérfanos Cahill en su búsqueda de las 39 pistas que les permitirán obtener riqueza y poder ilimitados para dominar el mundo. En Una Nota Falsa las pistas nos llevan a Viena, Salzburgo y Venecia de la mano de Mozart y posibles adivinanzas y misterios que dejó mientras aún vivía, previendo esta enorme búsqueda de la familia Cahill.

En esta entrega seguimos viendo lo despiadadas que son las diferentes ramas de la familia Cahill, pues harán literalmente todo lo que sea necesario para tomar la delantera y conseguir la siguiente pista. Si bien todas las ramas tienen dinero y recursos, Dan y Amy deben valerse únicamente de su ingenio y de la ayuda de su niñera para viajar alrededor del mundo.

No es un libro espectacular, pero está muy bien para pasar el rato entre lecturas más densas.11 s Daniel776 76

Jedino što mogu da kažem svaka ?ast Herr Gordonu na upsešnom prekopiranom stilu pisanja os Herr Rika. Da nisam primetio da su druga?iji pisci na naslovnicama ne bih ni znao da je neko drugi pisao. Odli?no.

I had a hard time putting this one down. This story kept me hopping and guessing what the next clue would be. My biggest disappointment was that not all the Cahill relatives played a big part in this story. I'm anxious for the next one.kids-books suspense8 s Jelinas173 17

I firmly believe that writing for kids should still reflect good writing.

Just because they're kids doesn't mean that you should throw in a bunch of explosions or fighting to keep them interested. No, I believe that children, adults, learn how to write from what they read. I'm not just talking about grammar, here. I'm talking about style, descriptions, expression -- the whole shebangbang.

And the better the writing is now, the better it will be in the future, when today's kids grow up and write books of their own.

This is why I'm so disappointed with this book. Gordon Korman wrote This Can't Be Happening at Macdonald Hall when he was only twelve -- it was published when he was fourteen. The Bruno & Boots series was full of fun and energy -- I wanted to move to Canada and attend Miss Scrimmage's Finishing School for Young Ladies so that I could engage in shenanigans with the boys at McDonald Hall. His characters were believable and had a lot of depth under all the fun.

How can it be that Korman's writing got worse as he got older?

After reading The Maze of Bones, the only things that made me read the second book in the series were that: A. my nine-year-old buddy BN was looking forward to lending it to me, and B. the second book was written by Gordon Korman. I figured that if anyone could rescue this series from a crappy second installment, it was Korman.

I was wrong. I was so, so wrong.

The second installment in the series takes the kids from France to Austria to Italy. This time, they're chasing Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. We get a lot of nice Mozart factoids along the way, but I'm dubious as to the accuracy of some of them. For example, the book claims that Mozart had a twin sister. He did have a sister, but they weren't twins. What's up with that, Korman?

But my biggest beef with this volume wasn't the inaccuracies. It was the lack of style.

Maybe it's because he was given such crappy characters to work with in the first place, but the book was just as two-dimensional as its predecessor. I guess I was expecting too much -- if Korman read Rick Riordan's installment and then tried to copy his (flat) style, then he did too good a job. Korman, sometimes, it's okay to turn down a job.

Really, the only thing One False Note really does is get the Cahill kids from France to Italy, from whence they will fly off to Japan. *sigh*

Man, I miss Ellen Raskin so much.7 s Lily - On Hiatus457 244

4.5 stars

Mm, this one lacked a climax, but I don't quite feel writing a full review. Also, how come Natalie and Ian have got top-notch surveillance all over Venice, but the Janis stronghold doesn't even seem to have a single security guard, let alone any cameras? Makes it way too easy for our main characters. Still, the Clue-hunt wasn't bad, and I loved the musical aspects of this!

And so on to the second on the series and so far so good. The action starts pretty much right from the off and not ending till literally the last pages. The story is fast paced in-between with humour and action a-plenty.

I would say that I think keeping this up for the entirety of the series could start to feel repetitive but I guess for the target audience that may not be such an issue - however only 2 books in this certainly is not the case.

One thing I must admit I am enjoying is that the main protagonists are able - the issue I have seen (and I am not expert on the genre by a long shot) is that they can come across as either annoying pathetic or impossibly superior. However here we have characters who you can root for and are relatable too - a hard task considering it appears it is nothing short of the fate of the world they are racing towards. So, so far so good I would say7 s aLirEza nEjaTi283

These books are so good!!! I am seriously not kidding. These books, un some other middle grade I have reread recently and didn't have half a heart to rate two stars from the first 50 pages, are actually good for all ages. Yes, they are appropriate for younger audiences, but the enjoyment isn't gone for older ones. :) 2021 4-star 5-star ...more5 s Lila723 192

Cahills take bloodthirsty family to another level, huh?

Another city, another adventure. I know it's such a small part of the story, but I found it fascinating how Korman spun the Marie Antoinette's famous words: "Let them eat cake!"

I have always wanted to visit Venice (been in Italy a few times, but never in Venice) and this book make it seem I did. I cannot get enough of Amy and Dan and their ingenuity. Nellie is hilarious and quirky and if I had one, I would have loved her as an au pair.

I can't decide who I consider to be most unscrupulous out of all Cahill teams. Might be a bit on the nose, but Lucians seems most ruthless. 5 s Cathy 1,956 51

This is a really great adventure series centered around orphaned Amy (14) and Dan (11) Cahill. There grandmother has died and set their family off on a world wide adventure to discover the 39 clues that will lead to a price that will grant enough wealth and power to possibly rule the world! The kids are fresh and natural with each other and very personable. The adventure are fast paced, almost watching a movie. The way the authors weave historical facts into the mystery makes it extremely educational (even for us "learned" adults) but in a very fun way. Plus, the adventure continues into the real world with physical clues, a computer site and the chance to win a lot of money. I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys YA adventures and especially for reluctant readers.fiction mystery series-reminder ...more5 s Kasia (kasikowykurz)1,810 52

This is book 2 in the 39 Clues series. When I finished book one, I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue on with the story. Now that I'm done with book 2, however, I have to know how the story ends.

The 39 clues lead to a prize which promises great fame for whoever solve the puzzle. In this volume Amy and Dan Cahill are hot on the trail of clue number 2. Their search takes them to France, Salzburg, and finally to Venice all in search of famous places connected to the life of composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Along the way, of course, they have to dodge their scheming relatives who will stop at nothing to put Amy and Dan out of commission.

This second volume is written by Gordon Korman. He does a great job continuing the story started by Rick Riordin in The Maze of Bones. All the characters are back from the tricky Alistair Oh to the mysterious man in black and everyone else in between. Even the cat Saladin is back and he's on a hunger strike, which adds a humorous element to this action packed story. In the end Korman leave the reader with a hunger to know what will happen next.

Another fun installment in the 39 CLUES series!

Here, in book two, author Gordon Korman takes the helm from Rick Riordan to steer the Cahill siblings toward their next destination and their next big clue.

It's obvious that Korman and Riordan have different writing styles, and I admit it took me a few chapters to adjust, but once I did I ended up enjoying Korman's style quite a bit and felt he continued with the feel of the characters and the structure of the plot.

Are the books literary masterpieces? No, not really. But, they achieve something brilliant in their own way.
The great thing about these books is how easy they are to read and how quickly one can (and wants, in my case) to read through them. Of course, this does lead to sense of wanting/needing more. Sometimes I felt the arcs of the characters weren't as clearly defined as the arc of the plot, so that kind of was a bummer because I was left wanting more. I know this book is just one in a huge series, but still, I wanted more for the emotional place the characters were at the time.
However, the good of all this is that the books (so far) are page turners and I absolutely love the fact that you can "play along."

I've already ordered my copy of book three! I'm glad I embarked on this journey with the Cahills and I can't wait to take the next step with them.actionadventure art family ...more3 s Jerry (Rebel With a Massive Media Library)4,764 70

A Quickie Review

a Saturday morning action/adventure serial, the 39 Clues books--at least, so far--feature plenty of action and adventure. It also contains historical and geographic details about real-life people and places, much the Carmen Sandiego franchise. It's been a while since I've read the first book, but, I was able to understand this second one fairly well. If you haven't checked this series out...you should!

Content Concerns:

Sex: None. 5/5
Nudity: None. 5/5
Language: One misuse of God's name. 4/5
Violence: Some "PG"-level action. 3/5
Drugs: None. 5/5
Frightening/Intense Sequences: Some "PG"-level peril. 3/5

Score: 4/53 s Christina423 31

One False Note picks up right where we left off in The Maze of Bones. Dan and Amy head to Austria to find their next clues. Their competitors make occasional appearances, all with their wealth, power and fame, but the two Cahills actually have the brains, so it's no surprise tabs are being kept on them. I d the creativeness of the clues of (D>HIC and the cake 'gateau' business). The next book looks it packs another awesome adventure in Japan. I am fascinated with where the story is heading. Do all 39 clues lead to an ingredient involved in a large formula? A formula for what? And what is Mr McIntyre and the Man in Black's role in all this? I have many questions waiting to be answered!2016-wedding-challenge mystery3 s Jessica7 1 follower

I usually don't this kind of book, but this one is really good! Even though it is in the mystery section, if you adventure books, you should definetly read this series. Sometimes it is a little confusing but I understand everything in a few minutes. This is a fast paced book with an ongoing chase and lots of characters that I can't keep track of. I recomend this book to anyone who s everything I just described, even if you don't what I just described you should read this book. 3 s Jade Melody239 141

This one was a little less interesting than the first. There was less intrigue throughout the book and some of the connections with different pieces of evidence didn't make much sense or track very well.

The action was great, and listening to the audiobooks almost makes it feel watching a movie!

The endings for these books though are probably what I the most! They keep me very much hooked to what happens next!

The review of this book has two answers. How I would feel as a kid reading this book (lower ya) and how I d it from a adult perspective.

As a kid I d the continuation of the story line from the first book. They are in Europe now trying to put the pieces together to find the clues to get to the end of the challenge first. I d book one better but I think it is a writing style preference as the books in series are written by different authors.
The story line is engaging as you follow the children and their chaperone hunting for the clues. They get into a few situations that are close and others where they are able to convince other teams in the game they don’t have what they the others want . The children are very resourceful and are often underestimated by the adults . 4.5 stars for kid.

As an adult I would but this more in the 3 star category. This book is spy kids merged with the davinci code.
The plot was well written just you can definitely tell it was written for a younger audience. It kept my interest while reading but it’s not a book I’ll probably do a reread of.2 s Hannah38

I loved all the problems they faced that would so easily be solved by smartphones today:

Exhibit A: In the catacombs cave-in they are stuck in total blackness and have to use their hands to grope along the walls to find their way out. It’s terrifying. Today any self-respecting 14 and 11-year-old would have just whipped out the flashlight on their iPhone in a heartbeat. They still would have been trapped but at least they could SEE.

Exhibit B: They actually consider trying to *steal* a priceless manuscript from behind a retinal-scan case just so they can take it to their au pair to have her translate it. Today you could have just taken a picture and texted it to her in seconds. (Or use google translate yourself.)

Exhibit C: They go to all sorts of libraries and museums to get information instead of just googling it in the car before they get there.
