I read quite a few YA books and this one was certainly NOT one that I would recommend. It seemed flat and written "down" just because the target reader is a "youth" doesn't mean the writer has to write "down", being young doesn't mean that the reader can't understand good writing. If you want a good YA series skip Patterson and read some of Scott Westerfeld's books or Jonathan Stroud, at least those authors aren't just trying to fulfill a contract for their editor which is what this book felt like. Flat & rushed.

This book was a bit scary... I don't normally read scary books, so some might not even flinch @ the scary parts in this book, especially if you like that sort of thing. It was NOT gory just suspense mainly. Kind of eery and creepy. All in all a pretty good read. I loved the dog in the book, He just cracked me up.

This book was well written & had a lot of great pointers. Also has some good recipes. A must read for anyone trying to improve their lifestyle and incorporate a better diet & way of living that fits into everyday normal life with "normal" eating.

I really liked Greg Iles style of writing,
The book was an easy read, most of it was very good, There was one part that seemed to stretch reality a bit... but with the world today maybe things could actually happen like that. Even so it was an entertaining read. I would defiantely read another book written by Greg Iles.
