Summary: Definately the BEST Book Series Out There
Review: This book is no doubt my favorite book ever! Metz does a great job expressing the charachters so that you feel like you are there in on the action. The story builds so it is hard to put down. The interaction between charachters is so easy to imagine by the way it is written. Even if you are not a sci-fi person, I definately recomend this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Outsider-- A great book!
Review: I think that the whole series of Roswell High books is GREAT!Melinda Metz is great at expressing the feelings of Liz, Max, andeveryone else. I also love the show.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great to read for background on show...
Review: I am a "Roswell" TV show fan and this series has given me great insight into where the TV characters were based. I have really enjoyed this book and others in the series. Although the books ARE different from the show, the details and background information in the books are INCREDIBLE and difficult to create on-screen. I think that any true "Roswell" fan should read the books for more insight and details. I am also impressed with how the book's (and show's) details of the alleged 1947 crash coincide with real research and evidence. The author and TV show creators truly did their homework. I recommend this book to anyone interested in conspiracy theories, Area 51 myths, and/or Warners Brothers television series! Jenn :)

Summary: Great Book
Review: I loved this book so much. I can't stop reading the whole series. It is so incredibly cool. I love the series on tv and also the books. If you like the tv show you'll love the books. I do. (Jason Behr {Max Evans} is so hot!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Even better than the TV show.
Review: I've been reading the Roswell High books since they first started coming out, so I was really excited to find out they were being turned into a TV show called Roswell. I read this book a while ago so I really don't remember that many details about it, but it's an awesome book that I highly reccomend to teenagers who love science fiction.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Book Series Ever Created!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. Once I picked it up and started to read, I couldn't put it down. I also love the TV show. When the show first came on, I didn't really watch it because I thought it wouldn't be that great. But once I read this first book in the series, I just had to watch the show and when I did, I was hooked. I am now hooked on both the TV show and books. I think all of them are great. I've read the first book and I'm now reading the second one. I like the romance between Liz and Max and how they are kind of like a modern-day version of Romeo and Juliet. (Max would be Romeo and Liz would be Juliet). Max Evans, Isabel Evans, and Michael Guerin are teenage aliens with special powers from another world. Liz Ortecho, Maria DeLuca, and Alex Manes are their friends who find out about their secret. All Max, Isabel, and Michael want is to find their way home and to find out who their parents were. Liz, Maria, and Alex try to help them and are sworn to keep it a secret, especially from Sherrif Valenti, who is working on a Roswell alien-catching project. The six of them become connected to each other and all become friends. I think this book series is really good and I reallyr recommend it to anyone! I also really recommend the show, too. P.S., the guy who plays Max on the TV show is really hot!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book for ALL ages
Review: Here I was, 18 years old, and looking for a young adult book. But I have no shame. I LOVED this book! It combines drama, action, romance, and humor. I read this book right after the tv show aired, and I think it goes hand it hand. The people are a little different..sometimes I like the books more than the show!Finally, a book about teenagers where the characters ACT like teenagers!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great book
Review: I read the books after seeing Roswell on television. I was hooked on the show, and some of the differences in the books made them less appealing, while some made them more. For instance, Michael in the books is a completely different character. Had I discovered the books before the television show, I would have enjoyed them more. They are quality books, if a little short, and very entertaining. They are the type of books you can reread even though you already know what's going to happen. I have read 1 - 4 of the series, and I think they are all good. This one would probably be number 2 on my list. If you are a fan of the tv series, or just aliens in general, I recommend this series.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting premise, needs an editor
Review: I, too, became hooked on the show and decided to check out the books. This first one disappointed me greatly. While I found that the character development was a bit more fleshed out than in the show (Isabel's tendencies, their powers), I think that the writer really needs to go back and review her elementary grammar points. So far, I've read the first three (the 2nd and 3rd being MUCH better than the first), and I'll keep reading them, more for novelty's sake.
