A review by markphilpot
The Secret Hour by Scott Westerfeld
3.0
Fairly entertaining, too short and shallow.
I'm afraid it doesn't hold up to Westerfeld's Uglies. It felt like the novel equivalent of a TV episode rather than a movie. It's fairly entertaining, but I wish he had taken more time with the characters. It really is just a plot rendition with no development.
It was good enough that I'll finish out the series in the hopes that more of the back story is revealed and not just more action scene constructs.
