I really enjoyed this. Usually I"m not into the alien genre, but I watched the movie when it came out, and I liked that well enough to know that I had to read the book. And I'm glad I finally did. Sammy stole my heart, and I loved reading the parts involving him and Ben surprisingly. The way Ben just took him under his wing was really sweet to me, and really helped me warm up to his character. I'm not sure how I feel about Evan, but hopefully I'll be able to figure those feelings out when I read the next book.
