great read, April 9 2003
when a box arrives at the hotel addressed to angel investigations, wesley thinks nothing of opening it . what a mistake. a mysterious powder that is inside the package renders him comatose and nothing the gang does will bring him out of it. their search for answers leads them to a vampire with a diabolical plan to take over the world and leave the humans as slaves. this book had no boring spots and i highly reccomend it. any angel fan will not be disappointed.

pretty good book, April 7 2003
i have read a few of the other reviews and i have to ask them to lighten up a bit. i am currently writing my own charmed book and it is already not consistent with the tv show. one of the problems is that you get an ideal and then the show moves in a diffrent direction or by the time you get your book published, your ideals may be a little out of date. maybe this author started writing the book at the beginning of season 4 and a lot of the relationships between piper and paige would have been right in line. i thought the book was cute and would reccomend it. and now to my review. paige is feeling like she can never feel prue's shoes so when she finds a spell to change herself into an animal she jumps in head first without thinking about the consequences. she turns into a cat and this leads her on many adventures including one to egypt which makes this book in my opinion diffrent, imaginative and funny at times. i personally take my hat off to the author and as one who is definitely struggling with her own book, all i can say is i can't see how you get all your thoughts together to make such a great book.

rather dull and predictable, Mar 3 2003
after reading "whodunit", i thought that the smallville novels were on the way up finally. this book was rather dull and lifeless and really not worth buying. it's main focus is a teenage girl named heather fox who is an animal right extremist. she discovers that if she touches an animal she can transform into that animal and decides to seek revenge on any human who has been cruel to animals. this is rather extreme considering that this setting is in rural kansas and the woman seems like she needs to keep her opinions to herself. if you have read some of the other smallville novels, the ending is way too predictable. the tv show is beautiful but most of the novels are pathetic at best.

superb: babylon 5 at it's best, Feb 26 2003
for all of us babylon 5 fans who are itching for some new material now that the show is off the air, this is a great book. the book picks up the story of john sheridan's command on the agamenon and all the problems he faced with the crew. all of this takes place right before the dedication of babylon 5 and there is enough subplots to keep readers interested. meanwhile his wife anna has been assigned as the science officer aboard the icarus right when her and john are supposed to go on their honeymoon. but how can she possibly turn down the opportuninty of a lifetime. her faithful decision is the basis of most of the tv series and i think the writer did a beautiful job on describing details that the tv show really did not go into. this is a must book for anyone like me who watched all 5 seasons and was sad to see it leave the air.

this book is superb, Feb 26 2003
most smallville books have put me to sleep. this one they really should see if they could make an episode of. it starts out with clark, lana and chloe going to a mutual freid's house after he has not shown up in school for a couple of days. what they find is a gruesome murder scene. elsewhere the infamous lionel luther is kidnapped in broad daylight by some very interprising kipnappers. neither clark's powers or lex's wealth will solve their problems which gives the story an intersting twist that i think that all smallvile fans will love and appreciate.

probaly the best smallville book, Jan 13 2003
adise from the first smallville book that was based on the first episode, this book comes in a close second as a well written book. when a famous scientist is killed in an accident, his widow and daughter decide to move to smallville to start over. they rent a farmhouse but soon discover that the house is haunted. the daughter ginger enlists the help of clark, chloe, pete, and lana to discover what is causing the unrest in the house. the story is suspenseful and has a very good ending. of course, nancy holder wrote this book. she has written several buffy the vampire slayer books and i have always admired her work. for any true smallville fan this book is a must.

great book for all isabel fans, Jan 13 2003
it is about time that someone noticed that isabel is probaly the most overlooked character of the roswell show and the books too. this book cast her and kyle as the stars(nice to include kyle too becasue he is often forgotten). it starts with kyle having nighmares every night about alex's death and the part that tess forced him to play in it. after it starts interfering with his job, he asks isabel to dreamwalk him to take the bad parts of his nightmare out. she tells him that is not actually within her power to do and that if she tried she could possibly hurt him. later, isabel starts to feel guilty and dreamwalks him anyway without kyle's knowledge and isabel finds that his nightmares are worse than she thought. when she tries to return to her own body she finds that she is trapped and may never be able to return. their is also a mild subplot involving liz and max. liz is asked to babysit a cousin in a nearby town and max tags along for the weekend. when they get there they find their 12 year old charge far from cooperative and they have an interesting weekend dealing with some of the problems that a preteen boy goes through. this is definitely a book well worth reading for any true roswell fan. i read most of it the first day i picked it up. truly a good book.

could be better, Jan 9 2003
when clark meets a shy young lady at a carnival, he starts to suspect that she may be abused by her father. when he uses his xray vision to confirm this, he finds that she is hiding a much bigger secret. on top of this, people are starting to get robbed. could the 2 be connected? or is it just another item for the wall of the weird? this book starts out with a lot of promise but it goes downhill really fast. from the samllville books i have read fans are better off just watching the tv show.

very good book, Nov 18 2002
most of the charmed books are a big snooze. but this one was clever and insigtful. the charmed ones find that everything seems to be going wrong. there is a gremlin in the house, pheobe can't retain a thought, paige can't stay awake and piper keeps having erratic mood swings. the trail to finding out the cause behind this is quite interesting, it has a lot of action with leo, but no cole(sorry cole fans) but i do not think any true charmed fan will find it lacking. definitely a 5 star book

this series is getting tiring, Nov 15 2002
gaia has grown up not knowing fear. so when her uncle loki gives her the opportunity to learn fear through an injection that his scientists have been working on, she jumps at the opportunity. my will gaia never learn not to trust everything at face value? uncle loki has his own sinister plans and they are as usual no good for gaia. this book is not one of the better ones of the series. i think pascal has run out of ideals and keeps going around in circles. this series needs some new life to it desperately.
