    Personally, I feel these books deserve a 9.9 Out of 10. The first one has a wildly imaginative plot, is never boring, and is full of suspense and imaginative twists. I dare say it's one of the masterpieces in the thriller genre! The second one features a protagonist who enjoys a smooth and satisfying journey without any frustration, and is also lighthearted and funny. The third one has a unique plot, with interconnected events that get more and more addictive as you read!
