This is the story of a boy's "view" of his father and overall, it just wasn't as good as all the hype.

Not as good as other Saul books, but it has all the usual elements (the outcast kids and spookiness). If you're a Saul fan, you just have to read them all, I say!

This is the first book I've read from this series and I'm now dying to read the rest! I loved it! I also wasn't that lost considering there were at least 3 books ahead of this one in the series.

This was the first book I've read by this author and it started a bit slowly, but ended with a bang! Don't give up on it - you won't regret it.

This was my first Alpha series book I've read and I wasn't disappointed. I learned that you DON'T have to read them in order - I wasn't lost at all. It had some mystery and some humor.
