Among the Hidden Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Utter disappointment. I wasn't expecting much, as I don't like Margaret Peterson Haddix, but this failed even my low expectations. It was depressing and had no subplots. It was predictable and I could not even stand to pick up the next book. *sigh* "

" This is a great start to a great series! As a 4th child, I think the idea of a world where 3rd children are illegal is pretty creepy. Luke is a hero to be and his companion Jen is brave and a leader. The ending leaves you wanting more and the journey there is anticipating. I can't stress how amazingly fantastic this book is! "

" Read this aloud with my 12 and 9 year old. My 4th grader said her teacher read this book in class. So, good to know. I liked it. It started out a little slow but by the middle of the book, we couldn't put it down. I am not a huge fan of the this genre, but there are so many out there... What I liked about this is the parallels with what has happened in history. When my children ask if something like this could really happen, I say, let's look at what has already happened. Does "civil rights movement" ring any bells? I look forward to the series, although one reader has warned against increasing violence through out the later books. We shall see. "

" I liked this but I'm not sure I'm going to go ahead and read the entire series. The storyline is compelling but the writing isn't. The beginning drags big time. Once Luke meets Jen things pick up and become interesting but that takes a while. I read this because one of my students was really into this series. While I do really like the idea behind the series, the writing was dry and I'm not sure I'll go out of my way to read book #2. We'll see... "

" I can't believe I waited so long to begin this series!!! I can't wait to read the next one. "

" It was a fast read. I liked it and can't wait to read the rest of the series. It had a sad but predictable end. "

" This was a quick read, but I really liked it. I'm looking forward to the next book of the series. "

" Decent YA book. Interesting plot and a simple writing style that can appeal to most anyone. Recommended to teens and lovers of dystopian society books. "

" It was alright. I might have liked it more if I hadn't had to read it for summer reading and take tests and stuff on it at school "

" AMAZING! There were a few sad parts but over all AMAZING. Margaret peterson haddix is one of my favorite writers.i have loved evey one of her books i have ever read.I could not put this book down.:-D "

" Great for male protagonist! Quick-read at just about 5th grade level packs a lot of suspense and energy into an ideal length for hesitant readers. "

" Haddix is one of my favorite authors. i read this whole series and thought it was da' bomb!!! "
