1.0 out of 5 stars Interesting premise, poor execution, January 28, 2005

By	Phoebe "bookFAN101" (USA) - See all my reviews

This was the first Smallville book I'd picked up and I instantly realized what people meant about the series seemingly being designed for ten-year-olds. But more than that was lacking in this doozy of a novel. The characters are off, the writing's juvenile and unimaginative, and the overall story just... SUCKS! Take my advice on this, skip this one and pick up 'Dragon'. That books not perfect either, but at least the plot will restore your faith in the series.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Bad, Wishful Thinking, December 20, 2004

By	Kristy Howard "Student" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

One of the few disappointing stories in the Smallville Series for Young Adults, Buried Secrets introduces a new Spanish teacher who can read people's minds. She has this ability, but hates using it, and doesn't do anything spectacular with it that warrants it as a freak-of-a-week episode. Clark and Lex falls for this Spanish teacher (although there is nothing really amazing like special powers through kryptonite to get everyone to fall for her), and have Clark (who is hopelessly in love with Lana) fall for her is unbelievable. Having built up Clark's strength of character to have him go after his Spanish teacher, despite the way he feels about Lana, is unbelievable. He even gets into a fighting jealous rage when Lex falls for the Spanish teacher, too. Anyone who has watched Smallville, even for one season, knows this is nonsense.

4.0 out of 5 stars an ok book, July 10, 2003

By	tammy (chicago, il United States) - See all my reviews

a young and pretty substitute teacher comes to town for the spanish class and automatically all the guys are in love with her. she was caught out in the meteor shower 12 years ago and it left her with the ability to read people's mind. clark falls head over heels in love but is jealous when his friend lex starts dating her. they have a few heated words and they wonder if their friendship is worth more than a pretty woman. it is not one of the better smallville series but it will do to pass a few
hours.
