The Secret Hour

Nice idea, well written

My only complaint is that the story is too short. Good thing there are more books in the series!

I loved this book. Given, it did start off slow, but this book ended up being a page-turner! I am definitely looking forward to reading the next one.

I was really interested in this book, at first because of the premise which I found fascinating, but then also because I have friends from Bixby. I read this book and was very entertained, but something bothered me about it. I couldn't put my finger on it until I started the second book and actually googled Bixby and talked over the landscape setting with my friends. If anyone bothers to read this and then google it, you can understand why I'm offended by the irresponsible writing exhibited by the author. I suppose I took it for granted that an author who chooses to use an actual place would research it and possibly some of the history. Just a thought.

Really interesting and very different from the Uglies series, but still really adventurous. We'll see how the other books are, because I felt that Uglies declined throughout.
