First Sentence
By the time the Kents got home, Clark was too overloaded to think about history papers-and wished he'd started work on it after school on Friday, the way his mom had suggested-and he barely slept all night. Read the first page

Format:Paperback
The author has obviously never seen the show she is writing about. This book is badly written, badly plotted and makes no sense whatsoever.

a good book
22 Jan 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
After reading the other books in the Smallville series, I was not pleased. They are nothing like the show. But even though thats true, I decided to give Hauntings a chance, and I'm glad I did. This is the best book in the Smallville series by far, it is about a haunted farmhouse, and a Mayor's past. A good book, if anyone else has read the Smallville books and has been disappointed, hopefully you will enjoy this one.

Ghosts of Smallville
30 Mar 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The town of Smallville has become a character in the TV series of the same name, with a history of strangeness that extends back a long time before the meteor shower that brought Clark Kent to earth. This book explores some of that strangeness in a ghost story where unavenged wrongs keep the souls of victims active in the world.
All the characters get their share of the action, both the cast familiar to us from the TV show, and a few new ones. The Brucker's come to Smallville with their own ghost still a very unsettled part of their lives. By the end of the book they are not only at peace with themselves, but they manage to escape Smallville alive. No small feat for secondary characters in this series.
Nancy Holder has some fun with a range of details while telling her story, from small town life to cutting edge science to the toys and phone etiquette of the super rich. Her characterizations of the characters were very good. I especially liked Chloe's annoyance at Clark's attempts to save her life while she was preoccupied with camera angles. Who cares about supernatural attacks when the story is all around you, after all?
The ability of the Luthor family to hide anything allowed Nancy to write a much more important story than you usually see in series books. If I have any gripe at all, it's that Clark has so little understanding of Lex's need to sweep everything under the rug.
It's not like he has his own spaceship in the storm cellar or anything.

Holder doesn't "Get" Gray Characters
4 Jun 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Nancy Holder has a real problem with "gray" characters. She didn't get Spike in her Btvs novels, and she doesn't get Lex in Smallville. I really think she would be better served sticking with series where all the characters are clearly labeled "good" or "evil". If you like Lex, you won't like this novel. In fact, if you like the "gray" morally ambiguous characters in any series, you should probably avoid any tie-in novels by Nancy Holder.
