For being the debut of the Lorien Legacies, I believe this book does a good job. Everything is explained with ease and the characters are cool. The only thing that I got kind of trouble with was the love story in between all the chaos. I started this series expecting alien wars and "magic" powers, but instead I got a sappy love story. I wasn't very pleased, but it was good nonetheless. Nothing new, yet nothing terrible. The descriptions were really good though, I really enjoyed them. My favourite character was Henry because I felt that he was the only RATIONAL BEING ON THE WHOLE PLANET!!! Anyways, the rest of the series is amazing, so bearing with this book is worth it. I wouldn't really recommend this book on its own, but I totally would recommend the entire series.

Read a comment somewhere saying that Bernie Kosar the dog was the best character... unfortunately that's true. This book sucked. It was truly painful to read (or to listen to, in my case)

Really wasn't too impressed. I considered giving it 2 stars but, thought I would be generous because the premise was good. The execution just did not work out right. I wasn't sure if it was an adult trying to write the way a teen would talk or a teen trying to write a book and having gotten poor grades in English. Biggest pet peeves: upwards, forwards, (any direction)-wards. It just read horribly.

just about to start, today. will let you know.
so, i really enjoyed this book. clean writing style, yet vivid in description, and action packed. as much as i love and live for my stories that center on love, it's nice to read a book where love, while involved, is not the main topic.
i really enjoyed the mythology created around Lorien (the planet the main character's from). quite different.
the characters were easy to get attached to, as well.
