"Susan Berliner's second novel is simply fun to read. The characters are engaging and the plot is suspenseful. Rather than the typical supernatural thriller, Ms. Berliner's 'monster' has a plausible, quasi-scientific explanation. It is a good coming-of-age story about the pivotal 13th summer of a young girl's life...Highly recommended and suitable for young adult readers."                                                    P.

"The writing is fast paced and extraordinarily readable. I finished it in one evening and one morning. The language is clear, and any technical information is explained in easy to understand terms. Susan's characterizations, like those in 'Dust,' are superb. I felt as though I could actually 'see' the individual characters, albeit with minimal descriptions. The dialogue is crisp and believable, and I loved the ending!"

"I like the author's writing style; she jumps into the story right away from the beginning of the book, and holds your interest throughout it. It also has a nice sub-plot about a teenage girl who gains confidence in herself...I read this book in two days, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone from teens on up."           R.
