"Finished reading this during book club today. The general consensus around the table was that mostly kids who already liked math and patterns would read this, because there was not a lot of plot going on. I've used pieces of this with classes before."
"I loved this book. It was very imaginative and we were learning while we read it.this book is good to read with a group or by yourself. It is about a boy who every night meets a number devil in his dreams and he goes on crazy adventures"
"I read this book about a month ago. I'm a person who reads several books at a time, and there were other things that I was reading at that time, so it was difficult to dive into, but I LOVED IT!!!! I was really sad when the Number Devil had to leave Robert. This book is funny and a book that you will never put down (unless you're a person like me in my situation), whether you're a math lover or hater.*
*If you're a hater, then this book will turn you into a lover. Trust me."
"The Number Devil is a very good mathematical adventure. This book talks mainly about the many patterns that you can find in numbers. It brings up so many cool points that you do not normally think about. The number devil had a very interesting way of communicating with the main character, Robert. The way that the number devil taught Robert about numbers made me want to find out more about everything that he taught to Robert. If you like math than you will think of this book as a fantastic read."
