This is one of my alltime favorite books. I just finished reading it for perhaps the 10th time, and decided to share it. Other most favorite book: Jumper.

What an excellent story! I would not have plotted it & written it the way Steven Gould did but I really enjoyed the way he kept me off balance and wondering what would happen next. I requested this book because Peter E. of CANBY, MN said that it was his all time favorite book. Now, I don't know him but I can say that it took me only 3 days to read this entertaining little gem and everyday I couldn't wait to get home from work to see what happened next!

I love this book! "Wildside" was this author's first or second novel -- I don't recall which -- and it has all the good stuff I liked from his other early book, Jumper: First person narrative, coming of age, big-bad-government, good dialogue, original story. Read this book!
