1: Enjoyable
Teen action, relationships, feelings, desires, self doubts all blend together to create a fast-moving and surprisingly enjoyable read. The only real difference between this and other teen novels is that some of the characters happen to be aliens--survivors of the Roswell UFO Crash, so the plot takes some unusual twists. Each main character is clearly defined, and portrayed in a believable and sympathetic manner.
As a Roswell resident it is fun to pick out details that reflect the setting accurately and those that do not. I wonder if the author has ever visited Roswell.
The ending is more like the beginning of the next chapter in a continuing story. The first book in the series worked better as a "stand alone" novel, but I don't suppose anyone reads them that way.
-Lynn Michelsohn, author of Roswell, Your Travel Guide to the UFO Capital of the World!

2: Both of my daughters ***love*** this book!
In fact, they each read this whole series in a short period of time. Conversations have been lively about plot lines and characters in our house. There was a t.v. series loosely based on this series of books, but my daughters will quickly tell you that the books are by far better than the show. Based on their reactions, I would highly recommend these books to any pre-teen/young teen girl.

3: Not as good as 1st in series but better than many of TV series episodes
Set about a month after the events in Roswell High #1, "The Wild One" is about a mysterious new boy in town named Nikolas and the wild effect he seems to have on Isabel. While the TV series wasn't based on this book there is a similarity in that the gang gradually learns that there were four alien children that survived the 1947 crash, Nikolas is the fourth alien in this case and he doesn't like humans.
I liked the first book better than this one, especially during the last part of the story (which is better than some of the TV episodes were). I think lots of hints are dropped about further stories in the series, the book seems a little bit choppy, fast paced.

5: WILD
I realy liked this, its only my second "Roswell High" book so I dont have much to compare it to but I enjoyed it a lot. Its mostly about Isabel, but sets the other charecters up for storylines in future books. It has you turning the pages until the very end wondering when Isabel is going to see sense and whats going to happen to her boyfriend. Their wild adventures are also somewhat page turning. The only downside of this book is that it seems to end in the middle introducing new plot lines and not explaining what happens. That comes in the next book, which I'm looking forward to becasue this one was so good, and I want to know what happens!
