Customer Reviews

Acceptable2
The reading level for this book is quite low. I was disappointed that it was written at such a remedial level.

Nevertheless, because I am a fan of the show, I wanted to know what brought Sydney into SD-6. This book was an acceptable book to answer those questions.

The APO series is written in a much better tone and reading level for adults.

Good intro4
I'm a big fan of the show and most people that read this book probably are as well. It's not a series like Lord of the Rings but it's not a bad book either. It's not real long, you can read it over a weekend and get a little bit of an Alias fix quickly. It's geared toward young adults so if that's not you don't expect something else. It's a good book if you want a good story, geared toward young adults, that's all about Alias and discovering life before the tv series.

I love it and have read others as well. I'm planning on reading most, if not all of them. I like to know what others think life for Syd was like before we all starting watching her on tv!

Not much substance...2
I love the show Alias and had hoped the books would fill in some holes about Sydney's past, her recruitment, etc. The books do provide some details but the books stay pretty general. It's obvious they cannot provide too much detail or it might conflict with the writing for the show (which frequently draws from the past to explain the present) The books focus on getting to know Sloane, her strained relationship with her dad, etc. The writing is pretty bland--this is one situation where the show is BETTER than the book. My final irritation with the books (and I've read several) is that they tend make Sydney look dumb and naive. She will "save the day" and then we the reader see the final "secret email" proving she helped the bad guy, etc. She comes off looking really dumb. Read the books if you must but get them from the library....
