Summary: interesting story
Review: for once an author has decided to show more of the character of lex luthor. lex has to go into metropolis for a few days and asks clark to come along. after some arguement his parents consent.(the only part of the book i really could not see them doing.) as lex tries to show clark a good time, they get involved in a bunch of trouble from japaneese mafia to secret agent who thinks he has found an alien in the mix. how that turns out is worth reading the book by itself. the author gives good insight into the characters of our 2 heroes and adds a few thoughts on the character of lex. it is a beautifully written book and definilty worth the money for smallville fans.

Summary: City is AWESOME
Review: I just finished the Smallville novel "City" and I can't tell you how refreshing it is to read one of these tie-in's written by someone who has actually *watched* and appreciates the show as a fan might. (Far beyond "The Pilot" and some random press releases anyway.)There are so many insightful references to many wonderful episodes (just *loved* the take on "Leech" -- my favorite Clark N'Lex scene from Season One) and the author has the characters, in all their rich layers, down perfectly. Ms. Grayson also has a wonderful grasp of the "rhythm" of the show itself; this book was more like a dream episode, wrapped up in a well-written, action-packed novel. And the Clark and Lex interaction being the focus for once .... YAY! Loved it! It's a highly enjoyable read during the current show hiatus. The show's writers now have much to live up to. Congratulations to the author on such great work. I CAN'T WAIT for the next SV novel by Ms. Grayson!

Summary: Well-written and fun!
Review: I'm not usually a fan of movie or TV tie-in novels, but this one is worth reading. It's got an engaging plot and the characterizations are well-drawn. I could actually *hear* Michael Rosenbaum's and Tom Welling's voices in my head as I was reading. A quick and enjoyable read! If this author writes any more Smallville novels, I'd be happy to put them on my reading list.

Summary: A+ Masterpiece
Review: If you are a true Smallville fan like myself, you will really enjoy this book. The characters (especially Lex Luther)are authentic..they hold true to the television show.
The book is basically about Clark accompanying Lex to Metropolis only having to safe his life from an Asian gang. In addition, Clark finally has a date with Lana but like always, he ruins it BIG TIME. You really need to check out this book..it's more than worth the six dollars you paid for it.

Summary: strong Superboy entry
Review: In 1989, a meteor shower hit Kansas changing the landscape of Smallville. The Kents found the toddler they adopted and named Clark and concealed his spaceship among the meteorites on their farm. At sixteen Clark Kent knows he is different from every other being on the planet but he still tries to fit in. His friend Lex Luthor, who lost his hair in the meteorite shower, invites Clark to take a trip to Metropolis with him. A scientist who had a psychotic breakdown thinks he's Agent Green. He believes an alien lives in Kansas and it is his duty to capture him. He bugs the room that Clark and Lex are temporarily residing in. While he spies on them, the Yakuza (the Japanese mafia) kidnaps Lex in order to blackmail his father into paying the money he owes them. Clark knows he must help his friend escape from the Yakuza and the fake government agent without revealing his powers because as much as he likes Lex, he does not trust his pal. One of the best features of the Smallville series is that Clark is just as confused and unsure of himself as most sixteen-year-olds are. There is plenty of action in SMALLVILLE CITY but the best parts are when Clark questions his role in life and why he was sent to earth in the first place. His pondering about himself and those around him makes him seem real. His relationship with Lex is fascinating and it would be interesting if Lex remains a true friend (comic book aside) when an adult Clark becomes the superhero he is meant to be. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Finally
Review: My biggest complaint about Smallville, the TV series, has been the ridiculously low amount of on-screen time for supposed best friends, Clark Kent and Lex Luthor. Fortunately, the TV tie-in novel, CITY, rectifies that lack - showing us, finally, the friendship between the boys, instead of just telling us about it. I normally avoid tie-in books, but I can't recommend CITY highly enough - if you like Smallville and if you got hooked on the show because you wanted to see what Clark and Lex were like as friends *before* they grew up and became enemies, buy this book. You won't regret it.

Summary: A great read for Smallville fans
Review: One of my biggest complaints as a Smallville fan has been the lack of screen time shared by Clark and Lex. These two "best friends" hardly seem to spend five minutes together! Devon Grayson's tie-in novel, City, gives me exactly what I want: wonderful interaction between the two lead characters, an engaging plot, great character voices and a believable little snippet of the Smallville universe. I hope to see more Smallville novels from this author in the future!
