Unusual names, weird eyes, super powers, teenagers, boring. Too many chapters with differing POV. They're pretty much just Vampires with another name, working on the whole stereotypical idea that all (modern) Vampires wear black, listen to metal, like the dark, etc. The writing want terrible, which ...

First off, I like my paranormal books to also have a little romance in them and this, apart from a kiss or two, had no romance.Second. I had no idea what this sERIES would be about when I bought the trilogy as the synopsis was a little vague.So, I have to admit that I did like it...just not really e...

I think Midnighters is Westerfeld’s second published series, and I’m not sure what order they were written in compared to his other earlier series per se, but I’m loving what I’m reading. As a huge fan of Uglies, my very first exposure to Westerfeld, and of anything Scott Westerfeld lays claim to, I...

This was a fun little read about a group of teenagers who wake up during a mysterious 25th hour of the day that other people don't experience.

2.5 to 3 stars.All righty, then. So I actually decided to read this because I heard that there was a TV series for this book series in the works that could be on air in the 2013 fall lineup and wanted to see what it was all about.Fast paced, decent enough read. I expected a little more coming from t...

The idea is awesome - a group of teens that are "awake" in a secret 25th hour of the day, while the rest of the world is frozen in time - but the execution and story were lacking. There was a veeery slow buildup to the mystery and discovering the answers behind what was going on, and while you got h...

Started off pretty cliché with the whole new girl thing, but that settled down. Nice plot, good cliffhanger ending. Will be reading the next book very soon.

Che dire di questo primo volume dei Diari della Mezzanotte? È un libro particolare e assolutamente degno della bravura di Scott Westerfeld.Ho atteso molto prima di acquistare il primo volume, prendendolo e riposandolo ogni volta… Non so precisamente perchè ma, credo, lo vedessi un po’ come un libret...
