review 1: This was a mildly entertaining book. The relationship between Jade and Cody is close, but has a weird feeling too it. I am unclear whether the story line is attempting to support some religious ideals or expose them as false. There are moments where it could go either way. The premise is good, however the actions of the characters can be confusing at times and I have to reread sections to figure out what is going on. I'm hoping the second book in this trilogy will be more clear and less muddled. Also, the 'twists' anyone could see coming a mile away, or at least that's how I felt.
review 2: When I first began reading the book I thought it was suited for children. I work in a library so I read and enjoy works from all age groups however, I was very excited when... more things started picking up and it crossed from children to young adult! No spoilers here, but the characters are engaging and real. One review didn't think their escapes were realistic enough, but I disagree I thought they flowed well with the story line. I love the author's imagination! The little things like his use of Area 51 were great. There's plenty of action and adventure, coming of age, and a tinge of romance. There are underlying currents of religion. One reviewer compared Daniel's style to that of C.S. Lewis and Ted Dekker, I can definitely see those tendencies in this book. I enjoyed it so much I had to make other books I had started wait, and will be reading the sneak peak online! Outstanding job for the first in a trilogy, and the most exciting part is anticipating the future writings of this young author, after all we only improve as we go along! less
