- Not a Good Tie In
Smallville fans will buy this book because there isn't enough books on Smallville. However, you will be disappointed because there are tons of errors, misspellings, flawed characterizations. Lana screaming pathetically? For example, Lana's no superhero like Clark, but she has never been a wimp. The scenes of the freak Dragon killing off his victims are beyond family fare unlike the television series. Who is this author writing for? Not anyone who watches Smallville.

- Dragon
After reading the Strange Visitors this was an up-lifting experience. This book moved much more quickly than the first and would have made an excellent episode. Another excellent job by the author in keeping the Lex Luthor character true to form. My only complaints would be the ages of the characters did not seem to match the television series nor the content of the book. I would have also liked to see a much more mature Clark Kent. Once again, probably too much history but if you are not familiar with the show then you might need it.

I envisioned the characters to be more like the TV show when reading and it created a great reading experience. A very good read for the Smallville fan.

- Disappointing
This book is nothing like the series. My main complaint was the fact that for a book supposedly set in the first season, Clark already had his super hearing, something he doesn't discover till Season three!

- I expected more
Going into this book I expected more from it. I was somewhat disappointed.
I did like the action present throughout the book.
I also found myself really enjoying the Clark/Lana aspect of the story when I usually find it sickening. I can't really pinpoint any specific problems with it, I just expected something with more substance.

Again I must say that folks reading these books probably are already aware of how Clark came to be in Smallville and it does not need to be explained in every book. It really slows the story down.

- this is completely not like the show
smallville is the best show ever. but when i read this book, i found it very disappointing. it is nothing like the show. first off, clark is not that infatuated with lana! he's not constantly thinking of lana like he does in this book! secondly, this book is extremely sexist! it's always a guy who's saving the day! clark, jonathan or pete! When the creature attacks nell potter, lana just screams while clark and pete attempt to save nell. in the show, lana would at least try to do something, not just scream like a little sissy girl! and, lastly, what kind of girl do you think lana is anyways? no one spends one hour combing their hair! puh-leeze! Well, anyhow, I do not recommend this book to anyone who has ever watched Smallville for it will truly offend them.
