This is such a captivating book! The plot kept me on my toes and I hated to put the book down.

Nice book. The main downside is that, despite being for kids (likely rough and hard on a book), the paper is pretty thin and flimsy. I fear the book will tip and bend quite frequently.

As with all the Jesse Stone novels by Robert Parker, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have now read all of the Jesse Stone series and started on Palmer's other books as well while waiting the next book in the series. If you have seen even one of the movies based upon these books you can also visualize and hear Tom Selleck as the indomitable Jesse Stone. If you haven't seen the movies, this book will want to make you start watching to see this series of books come to life. Not since Dances With The Wolves have I read a book(s) and seen movies made from them that are so true to the original work they are based upon. The other characters in the books also come to life in Palmer's writing even though those characters are not always the same from book to book. His ability to keep the same tone and excitement but change and add more depth is proven with each new book.Each book is a stand alone and does not require reading the prior books in the series, but as you read the series you fill in and become engrossed with the residents of Paradise. Only Jesse Stone and a small number of his closest friends remain as the books evolve. Paradise expands with each book to become a small town you can imagine living and working in. Usually seeing a movie made from a book keeps me from wanting to read the book, but not with this series. Here in Paradise, you will find yourself rooting and cheering for Jesse every step of the way as well as being amazed at his resiliency in surmounting the obstacle's thrown in his way both by circumstance and life itself.Reading these books is not diminished by having seen a movie made from the book even though the movies are very true to the books. The story lines and plots keep you wondering and engrossed until the very end and leave you wanting another round of Jesse Stone. Fortunately there appear to be more in Robert Palmer's mind yet to come!

Excellent movie, started a bit slow but maybe that's just my overexposure to movies with a big hook at the start. Seriously though, if you're into astronomy even the slightest you'll love this. This is right up there with Close Encounters of the Third Kind in my book. The best 2 hours and 8 minutes I've spent watching a movie in a very long time!

I read "The Light" (given to me by my sister in law) just one day after completing another book about EMP. I could not put the book down and completed it in one day. I enjoyed this book much more than the other book which was a best seller. I like books which have good character development and this book has great character development - relationships that really draws in the reader. This book brought to tears at least four times. Really looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

This book has been around a long time… great book to teach the little one
