Rating: Summary: "Paranormals" -- a comic book tale brought to life Review: As Christopher's Mother, I read his books with pride. As a professional book and movie critic, I read his books with an objective eye."Paranormals" is an interesting read. There's mystery, twists and plot turns, awesome characters and a stand up and cheer ending. If you're a comic book fan, this book is one you will especially enjoy. With shades of "X-Men," "Paranormals" leaves a vivid picture in your mind of extradorinary heroes that become bigger than life. My favorite character in "Paranomrals" has to be "Powerhouse." My favorite author is Christopher Andrews. He's a genious story teller. Lynda Andrews

Rating: Summary: A great book. Review: I've never read a book quite like this one, but I can appreciate the comparison to X-men and Wild Cards. On the one hand it feels almost like a young-adult novel, but it has just enough of a mature writing style that I didn't feel it was being "written down" at all. The characters are diverse and sympathetic, especially Lincoln. I also liked how the four characters in their three storylines moved around and through one another; I understand Andrews did something similar to this in his first book, Pandora's Game, which I definitely plan to read next. All in all, a very entertaining work of escapism that is also thought-provoking: What would YOU do if you were a paranormal? It tells us right at the end that a sequel is to come, and I for one am looking forward to it. Well done!
