4.0 out of 5 stars Solid writing w/ a great twist ending, June 17, 2003

This review is from: Disappeared (Alias) (Mass Market Paperback)

The Alias prequel series started out okay with mostly character development in RECRUITED, and picked up speed but didn't change much with the action-packed A SECRET LIFE. Now, as Lynn Mason's second entry into the series, she combines the best of both of those books in DISAPPEARED.
It seems as if the main character, Sydney Bristow, has really grown up and is learning how to do things on her own and handle a full mission. The plot clipped along at a rapid pace but didn't leave anything to be desired, and the ending had a twist that was something I'd expect from the show's brilliant writers. Overall much better than its slightly-better-than-average-predecessors that I just read as a fan of the show. This one leaves you wanting more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally Something Different, June 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Disappeared (Alias) (Mass Market Paperback)

I love Alias the show and the books. Yes it is true that this one is a little different from the show and other books but I think that is a good thing. This one has a bit of a mystery inserted into it, that kind of reminded me of those oldfashioned mysteries. I think it was trying to be like clue or Murder on the Orient Express on purpose. I don't want the books to be exactly like the show. The same old missions would get boring. Also this one was more of a grownups book while the other ones were very teenager. If they want grown ups to read these books they will do more like this, or even more grown up like a longer Robert Ludlum story. This one still had the young college parts. But it did have funny parts with Francie and a good one with her dad (in memory). I think the Alias books should keep surprising us just like the show does.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mystery worth reading, February 11, 2005

This review is from: Disappeared (Alias) (Mass Market Paperback)

For those new to Alias or even want an extra glimpse (pre-Alias) of Sydney Bristow, this prequel is worth reading. It sets up Sydney as we know her, but still new to the job as a spy. The descriptions of the Scottish castle is creepy enough. Something of a traditional mystery and spy novel. Sydney does get a chance to kick some major butt, too.
