I was really quite disappointed with this read. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting it to be a masterpiece but I really couldn't get involved with the characters or the plot at all. There was basically no depth or background to any of the characters, and it seemed like new ones were being introduced every other chapter. The story was really quite original and a good idea, but the way that it was written ruined it for me. It was also weird to read about a main character with the same name as me (although, of course that's not the author's fault). I don't think I'll be reading any more Tom Hoyle, even though I've got two more of his books.

hmm,i have no idea what to think of this book.I feel like i would have enjoyed the book if i was 12 or 13-when i figured out i liked reading books other than roald dhal ones.
The writing was more like he(the author)was describing or commentating on the situation-that was wierd and very obvious.The plot was not bad and i really liked that.The writing was for younger readers but if i read it at that time period i wouldn't have understood anything.
I wish the author talked more about adam's mom-like what happened to her?
When i first read about megan and adam it reminded me of harry and hermione from harry potter -am i the only one who caught that?
The only real reason i first picked up this book was because of the *beautiful*cover.
I wouldn't recommend this to younger readers,at the same time older readers might find this a bit boring-it is quite the dilemma which had me really thinking about the rating.
The mystery and the plot twists were not bad.I'm not excited to read the second book but curious so lets see.
