Customer Reviews

Hold on tight.

This is a deep, intense thriller for teens, but adults will also be riveted. I read it till the early morning hours and then couldn't sleep -- the sign of an excellent reading experience. This is a dark story that is also artful and cinematic. Highly recommended.

One of the best books ever

I met this author at Book Expo in NYC. He had run out of ARC so promised to send one. He followed through and I read the book in August. I was compelled to email him when I finished the book. It was an outstanding piece of literature...for adults and young adults as well. I received a response from Andrew Smith and have since purchased several copies of both of his books for the school library. This week is Teen Read Week and we will be giving away t shirts, magnets and 10 copies of "In the Path of Falling Objects." Mr. Smith has assured me that his next book is even better than the first two. I find that hard to believe but cannot wait for it to be finished and released. Mr. Smith teaches high school so knows exactly what young adults are interested in reading. But don't fool yourself...you will love this book no matter your age.
