Rating: Summary: Good, fast read Review: If your a really big fan of the show, then I would definatly recommend reading the books of this series. This book being the second, was good, but becuase it was written for young adults, I finished it in less than two hours. The way it was written was also kind of annoying, becuase, again, it's targeted for the teenage crowd. Besides that, I really do enjoy these books since it shows us a Sydney that we don't see on the series. A young, unexperienced woman, who is still learning the skills necessary for the trade. She gets scared, she begins her battle with the whole lying thing, she still has trouble controling her emotions. All these thing she has learned to control by the time the series on television starts. I really enjoyed this book, even though I wished it was longer and more detailed (more adult directed) although i know that could also backfire at the same time.
Rating: Summary: Syd's First Case Review: It's a pleasant spring day in Southern CA when Sydney's new beeper goes off. SD-6 needs her for her first assignment. Traveling to Paris, she's to go undercover as the wife of a newly wealthy man. Together, they'll be shopping for a wardrobe at one of Paris's best fashion houses, which they believe to have a connection to K-Directorate, a Russian crime ring. The job should be simple, find an excuse to explore the building and leave cameras and bugs behind. As an added bonus, Syd's partner is Noah Hicks, a very attractive agent she's already had the pleasure of meeting. Of course, things are much more difficult then they appear, and soon Sydney and Noah are in way over their heads. Can this rookie agent make it out alive?Fans of Alias will love this prequel novel. Getting a look at Sydney in training is a completely different perspective on the character, yet it fits in line with the show. Meeting Noah and learn more about his history with Sydney is an added bonus. My main complaint is that this book seems a little too straight forward. I love the twists on the TV show and was hoping more of that would appear here. This novel is a fast read that will keep the reader turning pages. While it will have limited appeal to non-fans, fans of the series will love getting a bit of the back story on their favorite spy.
