3.5 Stars - Fast-paced story that keeps you hookedMost teens are used to living life in the fast lane. Living life on the run, however, is completely different.
When Alex's father is brutally murdered right before his eyes, Alex is asked to testify against the man that took his father's life away - the same vicious man who had also shot and left Alex for dead.
Although the man is jailed for his crime, he has powerful connections outside the prison walls. Alex and his mother are forced to abandon the world they have always known. They assume new identities, move to another state, and learn to become untraceable under the Witness Protection program.
Despite their fear, Alex and his mother are able to move on with their lives. They must learn to change themselves frequently - their looks, personality, speech, and even their home. Alex knows he can never really become close friends with anyone - he could slip and reveal his identity, or even worse, endanger the lives of his friends.
When they move again, this time to Virginia Beach, Alex assumes the identity of a skater. To his surprise, he begins to really get used to this new life. He even makes real friends - ones he feels he can actually trust. Maybe, just maybe, he can stop being fake. Alex would finally have a life he called his own.
That is, until the killer arrived.
I thought this was a very interesting book!I love how it makes you get on the edge of your seat to see what happens next's!! I think anyone who wont's to read a GOOD book should read this!!! =)
ReplyDeleteOMG this is another great book! The way the whole story is laid out bit by bit is amazing. At first you don't know what in the world is going on. But as you learn that Alex's real name is Danny you find out more and more about his killer. GREAT BOOK. If you want a book that can grab you like a thick book than this in the book for you. If i was to rate this book of course I would give it a 5 star rating!!!!
ReplyDeleteI loved the book fakie.I loved how it shift from whats happening with the killers to whats happenig with alex or danny.I enjoyed how danny went from not trusting anyone to trusting his friends to keep him and his mom safe.My favorite charater was danny becouse he always changes and is so cold and feelingless at first but turns into not caring and showing his feelings.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning Alex and his mother were on their way to thier new home in Virginia. Alex was used to being a new student , but never got over the shyness of the first day. After his first week or so he was fitting in with his new skater friends. Alex frequently has minor flashbacks of the shoting of his dad.,but then he recalled the intire incident. Alex becomes to settled with his new friwnds and does not want to relocate. His stubbornness catches up to him when Steve,"hiss dads killer"hires assassins to kill him and his mother. The assassins eventually find Alex and his mother in Virginia and are focused on killing them. Then it is left up to Alex and his loyal friendsto out smart the assassins. In the end, with the help of his friends, the assassing went into hiding. That worked until another assassin cought up with them and did the job right. Alexs and his mom then take back thier origional identities and live a normal life,"try to that is".

This is a great book! The plots filled with mystery and suspence at every corner. I find the killing chase amazing because you gte to see how the bad charcters finally act fase to fase and how there plan fails. My favorite part in the book is when Danny becomes real with himself and his friends. Also I love when Dannys plan comes to life to save the people he loves by using his very smart friends.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading this book it left me on the edge of my chair at the end of each chapter. I enjoyed reading about Alex a boy who has to live many lives due to a killer he helped put in jail. Now the killer has found hislocation and is trying to kill him, but thanks to his new friends they stop him and he can now live normal life. I would definitly recommend this book for others to read.
ReplyDeletethis was a great book but it wasnt as good as i thought it would be......... a boy is now known as alex miller. he has moved multuple times to get away from his dads murderer. him and his mom have been on the run ever since the guy was put in jail. now that is in a new school and made new friends. will alex get caught??? will he be murderd??? that were the kind of questions that ran acoss my mind. it kept me on the edge of my seat. i was a good book that i might would read again.
ReplyDeletealthough it does keep you geussing, i could not completly sink in to it. i can be kinda picky about my books, but. i could not really see this book going anywhere so i had to put it down.
ReplyDeleteFakie had a great, yet guessable plot. I could guess the end, yet it is still suspensful. I somewhat love the part where Brian and Frank become friends. It shows that any enemies can become friends with a peaceful relationship.
ReplyDeleteAnother comment I have is that it ends with a great cliffhanger. It leaves us many questions.
I enjoyed this book. Only complaint is the guessable plot.

ReplyDeleteGreat book if you enjoy mysterys !! There are lots of cliffhangers that leave you wondering !!
ReplyDeleteI loved this book! I loved all the characters, and it had a good plot, too. A little too guessable for my likings, but the other action and just the whole love of the theme and characters makes it forgivable. The ending was very predictable, which i hate, but it still left me wanting to get more! I recommend this to all my friends. GREAT book!
