4.0 out of 5 stars Best comic-based novel I've read..., Dec 1 2001
By midnighter (Stanford, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I wouldn't ordinarily read a book based on comics characters (I read the comics for that), but I read this (and a number of similar books) during my big X-Men phase when I couldn't get enough of the mutants. This was by far the best. I think this was due to the fact that fighting was de-emphasized, which was a good choice since fighting doesn't translate well to prose. I enjoyed the team's interaction, and I loved the Ohio Mutant Conspiracy (especially rewind). The ending was surprisingly downbeat, but appropriate. Check this out if you like the X-Men, but are leary of the X-Men novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the X-Men novels., May 30 2001
By Thanos6 (Chapin, SC USA) - See all my reviews
*Note--contains spoilers.*

Eluki Bes Shahar is certainly one of the better writers Marvel has gotten for their novels. Ms. Shahar manages to both do justice to established characters, such as the X-Men and Mr. Sinister, while bringing life to new creations, such as the wonderful "Ohio Mutant Conspiracy." The only flaw I could find was the Wolverine-like woman; it seemed to detract from the rest of the work. Otherwise, highly recommended for Marvel Comics fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, Jun 12 2000
This wasn't a bad book. I for one liked the introduction of the younger kids, but It could have foucoused more on the X-men themselves. Rogue was portrayed fairly well here, all in all not bad. But if your looking for a light read..read elsewhere it's heavy. I'd reccomend it for any X-men collection though.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's Smoke and Mirrors all right...
The book lives up to it's title in that the plot was very cloudy and the outcome of how everything turns out mirrored current stories in the X-Men comics... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars It was an X-Men book, therefore It was cool
I thought Smoke and Mirrors had an interesting plot. The Children OF THe Atom were trying to stop a law that was called the Emergency Intervention Bill from being passed. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars what a phenomenal book!
This was _such_ a well-written book! This book captures the sense of both fun _and_ angst that made the X-Men great in its heyday. And I _loved_ the Ohio Mutant Conspiracy! Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best X-Men Novel
While the book was about the x-men, I found myself more interested in what was happening with the mutant teenagers from Ohio. They could've been great if introduced in the comics.

3.0 out of 5 stars could have been better
This book could have been much better the focused to much on the ohio muntant conspiracy. also not near enough action.The fights with wolverine were cool though.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's not worth it.
I've heard a lot of readers complain that the X-Men comics have become too convoluted to read. That there are so many stories going on in the books at present that it makes it... Read more
