Rating: Summary: One Of Nixon's Best!... Review: "Who Are You?" was a great book! There's something about all of Nixon's books that just keep you captivated! This was NO exception.The book is about a girl named Kristi Evans. One day, the police come to their house and tell her and her parents that a man named Douglas Merson has been shot. They also tell them that he has been keeping a secret file on Kristi's entire life! Who is this man? What does he want with Kristi? Why does he have a painting in his house that is supposed to be in a museum? Art theft? Fraud? And, who IS the person who tried to kill him? Will they strike again? Find out in "Who Are You?" Also recommended: "Name of the Game Was Murder," "Nobody's There," and "Murdered, My Sweet." All by Joan Lowery Nixon! :)
Rating: Summary: Good, but needed more. Review: I felt this book was very well written, and kept me reading till the end. I love reading Joan Lowery Nixon, but I don't feel this was one of her best. I felt myself wanting more "attention-grabbing" details, and better foreshadowing. Nixon is a great writer, but I would morely reccomend some of her other books.
Rating: Summary: The Best Joan Lowery Nixon Book Yet Review: I have been a fan of Joan Lowery Nixon for a long time, and have read almost all of her YA suspense. This is the best one yet. She takes many different plots and weaves them together to create a rollercoaster of a story. This is a must read for anyone who enjoys mysteries. JLN fans will not be disapointed. I hope she wins another Edgar for this one.
Rating: Summary: a good book to read Review: I liked this book because it was very good! It's about a girl names Kristi Evans who is freaked out when she finds out that anoynomys man has been keeping a scrapbook of her, and this man was shot the previous night.... if you enjoy mystery, then this is the book for you! ENJOY
Rating: Summary: For all those Joan Lowery Nixon fans-one is great! Review: I've been reading Nixon's books for about four years and this was another winner for her. I wouldn't recommend this book for first time readers but if you've read a few of her books and are looking for another one "Who Are You?" is what I would choose. For first time readers I suggest the book "Whispers From the Dead" that is my personal favorite. Still, if you like suspense this is a thriller, it starts out slow but picks up pace really fast!
Rating: Summary: MAIN IDEA OF THIS COOL BOOK FOR AGES 13 AND UP Review: Joan Lowery Nixon is a wonderful author. This book is very well done. I loved the whole story all the way....everybook I have read of hers are the kind once you pick it up you don't want to put it down till your done with the whole thing.

Rating: Summary: I hated it. Review: Ok, Ok...it had a good plot. But Joan Lowry Nixon (whom I usually love) ruined it! THE WHOLE THING IS WRITTEN IN PRESENT FIRST PERSON FORM!! All short, choppy sentences! I went to the mall. I saw a man there who was watching me. I started to run. He chased me. I was caught. I was then killed. !! I can't take more than 20 pages of that! Lastly, the ending...I think someone must have torn out the last, oh, 100 pages of my book the way it just stopped! No closure, every tie the book makes, it leaves hanging. Horrible book. Never read it! But check out other Joan Lowry Nixon's, like the Name of the Game was Murder.
Rating: Summary: Two Thumbs Up! Review: The plot in this book is that a man named Douglas Merson is following a girl named Kristi Evans. Kristi has never met him before but a folder was found in his house full of pictures and awards about Kristi. Another problem is that someone is trying to kill Mr. Merson, and Kristi also finds out that Mr. Merson is doing something illegal. I really liked this book. It was a mystery, and I thought it has a good plot. I also liked this book because it makes you want to keep reading. The end of every chapter tells you about something exciting that's going to happen. I don't think this book would be a very common mystery because you don't hear of a plot like this very often. I also think other Joan Lowery Nixon mysteries would be interesting.
Rating: Summary: A Disappointment Review: This book was definatly a disappointment. Foreshadowing was forgotten in the book because every bit of foreshadowing was thrown down the drain at the end. The "bad guys" were under-developed because they had no good qualities. It made them seem hardly human. I would definatly avoid this book if you can.
