I'm not much of a fan of the sci-fi-aliens-in-spaceships genre. But the premise of this particular book caught my attention and the fact that its set in modern times (not far off in the future) and is actually in the US (Ohio to be exact, and not in another planet somewhere out there) made me decide to give it a try. And good thing I did. This one is not to disappoint. I stayed up until about 3am last night and pretty much stayed in bed the entire morning finishing it off - a very good sign that the book is good since I can't put it down. It was action-packed and full of suspense that you just want to get right to the end to find out what happens next. But it doesn't end that easily since this is just the 1st of 6 books in the Lorien Legacies. The second one, The Power of Six, is coming out not until August 2011. Such a long wait! In the meantime, the movie version of this one is coming out next week and by the looks of it, I'll be lining up with my fix of Tater's sourcream with butter popcorn, and milk and dark chocolate malt balls in hand, to see if the movie would have the same suspense factor and would live up to the book. I hope it does!
