I am growing quite fond of this series. Teen angst combined with superpowers, aliens, and mutants....what's not to like?

Cool! This book would not be complete without the accompanying maps and diagrams. A brilliant debut novel.

Better than book 2 (The Subtle Knife), but not as good as The Golden Compass.

A nice, thought provoking young adult book. I'll be reading the other two in the series.
