I was a little disappointed in this book! Overall it was okay, but here are a few items that I'd like to point out. Nick to my knowledge, drinks beer, eats hamburger, potato chips, etc. and works out. So why did he prefer low-fat bacon to regular bacon, that little item could have been left out. Also, the author made Derek and Rachel out to be wimps! Out of all the things that Rachel has seen and done, I find it hard to believe that she cried over some gory photos. And Derek, the author in my opinion made Derek very weak and emotional. He wasn't that emotional when his sister was kidnapped and used as a sacrafice. Alex was the only one who was even close to her TV character. Maybe his next novel will be better. I haven't given up on this yet! If you don't mind my making a suggestion, perhaps the authors should focus more on the personalities and reactions of the TV characters. As a P:TL fan, when I read this book, I would like to visualize the characters as if I were watching them on TV. I have watched this show for four seasons and these just weren't the characters that I have come to know.

For all of you Poltergeist: The Legacy fans out there, this book is a must have item. Mr. Hautala does a very fine job of carrying on the best traditions of the show by combining mystery, adventure, and edge-of-your seat intrigue and excitment in the 244 pages of his book. A heart felt thanks goes out to him as he leads off what will hopefully be a long line of successful authors for this series.

It was a bit on the short side but enjoyable to finally get to read the first P:TL novel - it read like I was watching an episode ! :-) Nick got to do his Navy SEAL/action thing which I'm sure his fans will appreciate. However, I would've liked to have seen the team *together* instead of working separately as the writers of the series were always doing to them in the last two seasons. MAJOR peeve (and this wasn't just me, I heard it from other fans) was the way the Legacy House was referred to with the "the" (or "the San Francisco") in front of it. I'm looking forward to the next P:TL novel that comes out from this publisher.

This book is not quite what I expected. Even though it was an okay book and I liked some parts,I expected something more dramatic and a little more interesting. Over all, an okay book.

What a ridiculous book! I sensed no plot, the characters were weak at best, the story didn't flow evenly, and I got the feeling the author wrote it for something to do in his spare time. Most stories evoke feelings in the reader, this one evoked only boredom. The author never even explained who or what "The Legacy" was. From reading other reviews, I gathered there is a TV show, but the author should have opened his mind to those of us who are new to his series. Nothing concrete was explained, the evil Mr. Hunter even seemed vague. And after attempting to build Mr. Hunter into an ominous subject, he is melted with a dash of holy water. Puhlease.... Not once was it mentioned how Mr. Hunter planned to carry on what was his life's work and meaning after he slaughtered his comrades either. Don't waste your time on this ugly manifestation of literature, it speaks only to the weakest of minds. Evan's mother was a joke, what was that "fog" she supposedly carried around? And WHO, if not Evan, was speaking to her? If we got the TV show here in Saudi Arabia, I wouldn't even bother to watch it after reading this book.
