Summary: Others See Us
Review: I thought this was a great book! It had a lot of detail without getting boring. Also it was intresting and went to topicsslower than some books. This made it easy to follow and not to confusing. The characters were very developed, so it was easy to relate to them. Somthing I didn't like about the book was that it didn't completly explain everything. It left me hanging. Even at the end it left things unanswered. Especially things about grandma. I really enjoyed the ending it was a big twist. I think the moral of the story was you cant judge a book by its cover, but in this story it was backward. I also loved all of the cliffhangers. So if you love suspense this is the book for you.

Summary: "Addictive"
Review: I'm a non-reader. I don't really read because I'm to lazy, but i enjoy reading sometimes. " Others See Us" is one of the few books I enjoyed reading. It not only has a twist in the end, but it also leaves you thinking about everything that happens in the story. Sometimes in the book, you ask your self questions which you have no answer to. What kept me asking my self was if there are actually people who have special abilities to read mines, and if so, who? I never know if a person close to me can read mines, and because of that, I can't beaware of when I should hide or can feel my personal part of the mine or build walls in my head to protect my mine from others. This book is a mysterous and intresting one. You can't put it down once you start reading it.

Summary: Great idea
Review: One of the greatest things in life is the fact that nobody has to know what you're thinking. This is what enables you to be smile at someone while you're thinking, "What a twerp," and to get by with it. What a nightmare life would be if people knew what you really thought. But maybe even worse would be if you knew what other people really thought--especially about you. Sleator takes this great idea as the basic plot of his story. The characterization and realistic relationships between people tha one expects to see from Sleator are not here in their usual degree, but the basic plot is good enough that the reader doesn't really miss it. This is partly because of Grandma, a fascinating character who gambles with people's lives for no apparent reason. Sleator associates her with spiders, and hints that they are her inions or perhaps her herself...the reader can't really tell what Sleator is getting at, but it's fascinating to think about. An engrossing quick read that the reader will think about afterwards precisely because not everything is explained, although everything germane to the plot is explained.

Summary: 16 year-old Jared receives MIND READING abilities
Review: Others See Us is a fascinating book about a sixteen year old boy who falls into a toxic waste swamp just before arriving at an annual family gathering, which changes his life. About half an hour later, he begins hearing voices. Voices in his head. He is hearing thoughts. Other people's thoughts. Falling into the swamp made him a mind reader. He later finds that he's not the only reader. Someone in his family, who obviously must know the code to the security system for his house, and exactly where his journal was, stole his journal. He goes reading everybody's mind and finds out what Annelise, the cousin he's been dreaming about all summer long, is really like. She's not the angel everyone thinks she is. She is even responsible for one man's death. Jared and his grandmother, who is also a reader, work together to stop Annelise, after she receives even more power than Jared. A great novel by William Sleator in which he elaboratly describes every situation and predicament very entertainingly. You stay in suspence throughout the whole book. A great read for anyone interested in the subject, and some not. I was told to read it at school, but once I started, I couldn't stop. I couldn't put the book down.

Review: This book is very good.The title "Others See Us" is not about outer space creatures, or something like that.It is about a girl who can see what others are thinking.She went to her grandmother's house where she keeps a secret journal.The story gets complicated when someone steals her journal. This girl has the power to read minds. This is an awesome book!

Summary: Good, but not great
Review: This book, like other William Sleator books, had a great concept, but this one falls short of his others. When I read this book, I didn't get into it the way I got into his others - I didn't find it particularly compelling. I think it might have been charcter development that I found to be lacking. However, I think this book is worth reading for young adults because it is intelligent and it gives young people something to think about. Like other Sleator books, I find myself thinking about different aspects of the book, even years after reading it.
