awsome read an absolutly amazing read fast paced, non stop action adventure once you pick it up you cant put it down.
Great writing style In Scott Westerfeld's BLUE NOON, Bixby, Oklahoma has twenty-five hours in the day. However, the midnight hour is only enjoyed by five friends while the rest of the world is frozen in time. Defying gravity, mindcasting, and fighting darklings is all part of the midnight hour but when the phenomenon occurs unexpectedly during the day, the friends have to prepare for what has caused the shift.
Mr. Westerfeld's writing style is fantastic. This book moves at a quick pace and is easy to read. There are no slow or heavy spots that make a reader want to skim. The characters are very likable and the setting is believable. When I discovered these friends each had a superpower, I cringed thinking they would be cartoonish. This was not the case at all. They were very well done with each character's power fitting well into the story and with each other. I love how the one character tastes emotion.
As much as I enjoyed the book, I have to admit, I was confused throughout the first quarter of the story and then sporadically throughout the remainder of the book. Even with this, Mr. Westerfeld was able to keep this from being a problem for me.
I was totally unprepared for the ending. I'm not sure what I thought about it, but I can understand why he did it. Still, I have to wonder if it could have ended differently and had the same effect.
Over all...great author. I love his style and am so glad I read his book.

okay this book was really good, until the ending. It seemed that westerfeld really wanted to finish his book, so he shoved a whole bunch of stuff into 10 measly pages and boom- the end. but, if you're hooked on the other 2 midnighters, this is a must.
Times Up at Noon The book Blue Noon is a book about a teenage girl who is trying to use a secret power to save thousands of people. Ancient, mystical creatures called darklings are attacking all of humanity. Now the only thing to stop them is a group of teenage kids with a knowledge of a secret hour. My personal favorite part of this book was when the group of midnighters catch one of their teachers smoking outside the school. During a school pep rally, time strangly freezes to everyone but the midnighters, something that usually only happens at midnight. The kids go outside of the school to talk, but notice that one of their teachers is smoking. When normal time resumes, they approach the nervous teacher who is glaly willing to sneak them back into school as long as they do't blow his cover. This was one of the funny parts in this book. I've read plenty of books, and Blue Noon is definitely close to the top of my list. This book is a thriller compacted with many twists and turns. Just when you believe that you have figured something out, a new feature hits, and a new mystery begins. If you are looking for an action-packed, quick read, this is the book for you. In any case, Blue Noon is book that you will remember for a long, long time.
Generic Great book. Continues the story line and builds on the characters after their last adventure until the end. This is my favorite yet.
