I LOVE Jaron’s attitude! And as his relationship with Imogen and the Three boys progresses, the book gets all the better.

Great book for upper elementary/middle school. Really enjoyed the read.

Not much to say but that, I LOVED IT!!!! I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. THE TWIST AT THE END (LAST TWENTY CHAPTERS). READING THOSE LAST CHAPTERS, I HAD TEARS IN THE CORNER OF MY EYES, NOT BECAUSE I WAS SAD BUT BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY REALLY GOOD. I'M GLAD I PICKED THIS BOOK AT A SCHOOL BOOK FAIR. I CAN'T WAIT TO READ BOOK 2 AND I HOPE BOOK 3 COMES OUT THIS YEAR.

My daughters & I guessed the major plot twist very, very early, but it still didn't hurt our enjoyment of the book. In fact, I spent most of the book admiring the double-sided nature of things, how if you don't know the twist, such & such an action or word seems to say thus, but if you do know, it instead says something else entirely.

I LOVED this book!! I listened to it five times straight after the first time, just because it was so amazing and I had to know every little detail that I might have missed. I lived with my headphones in my ears for three days after the first time I heard it. I like to listen to books before bed to calm me down and I turned this one on. I stayed up way too late that night. Even the fifth time I listed to it my heart was pumping. I described it my mom as, "Watching a seven hour action move."

I would recommend it to everyone. The reader was awesome. I had trouble beleving that he wasn't an old gentleman or a young boy. He was very convincing.

It is the first book in a trilogy that I have ever read that doesn't leave you hanging at the end, which is good for me because I can't get the other two books. :)

Just adding this to my original review:
I just bought the actual book and the next two. I can't wait to read it again and the next ones. I know I will experience the thrill all over again, like I have many times already.
