review 1: A great first novel from Karey White. Although this is not my usual genre, I found the premise very well thought out and a fascinating subject for the book. Dialog is believable and helped shape the characters. I gave the book 4 stars because I felt the ending was a bit rushed. I would have liked to see more developments leading up to the finale. But overall a very satisfying read! Disclaimer: I know Karey and am a big fan of her blog, which you should not miss.
review 2: Excellent first novel by author Karey White. Although not my usual genre-- I'm a fantasy/sci-fi/horror guy-- I was drawn in to the uniqueness of the story. In many ways it reminded me of the background to a superhero story (think superman or X-men). I enjoyed thinking though the situat... moreions presented in the book and trying to image how I would handle being the parent of such a "gifted" child. Would I exploit the gifts (intentionally or otherwise)? Would I recognize the gifts? Would I talk about it with others? Would I share the story or keep it to myself? For me, these questions ended up being the driving force in this book. There wasn't a lot of really strong conflict to drive the plot, just a lot of "what ifs". A relatively light read, with a lot of deep questions providing the undercurrent that drags the reader in. Overall, I liked this book and would recommend it to others, especially the YA or LDS market. less
