The reason i like this book is that i could never put it down. this book has perfect blend of action, sci fy, and love. This book is also not extremely huge like harry potter so it wont take you long to read but it also is not to short. Another reason i like this book it gives an interesting topic to think about. Its how an show more alien would be on earth. Also it makes you think how you would feel is your kind was wiped out and the rest of you are being hunted. This book also has good action and not over the top action that happens threw the entire book. Plus like a lot of other books it added some love in there but this love was not like the love you find in a girls because its from a boys perspective. But i'm not saying this book is only for boys. This book can be enjoyed by anyone and is overall a good book to read. show less
