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

By	Clay (OH USA) - See all my reviews

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

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 One Word: AWESOME!!!, March 18, 2003

By	Lauren D. Burleson "Alias Addict" (Carlisle, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book definitely lived up to my expectations, just as good as the first two and any diehard alias fan is sure to love this series. A new book comes out almost every two months and each is better than the one before it. The only downside is that this book is an extremely quick and easy read...but that shouldn't bother a true fan...it just stinks because as much as you can't put it down you want it to go on forever because the thought of waiting two more months for the continuation is unbearable. A must for anyone who like the show or anyone interested in the world of espionage. In that respect this book shows you the people behind the missions...and the relationships that hold them together. To sum up: good read, good book, awesome suppliment to the show.
