Fade was is amazing. An epic sequel to Wake, Fade follows the story with Janie and Cabel.

What I loved about Fade was the plot, the characters, the writing basically everything! Right from the start, I was riveted and totally engrossed in what was to come. Each page was breathtaking and made me hunger for more. The characters Janie and Cabel each had very strong personalities. Cabel, more of the protective type, sought to protect Janie from everything. Janie, the more responsible one, felt like she had to deal with not only her nightmares, but everyone elses as well. Both had to learn to give a little to get what they wanted each other.

The writing, wow, was amazing. I loved how Lisa managed to portray exactly what a drugged teenage girl would feel like especially that whole scene when Janie goes in to break a case. I felt like I was right there with her and I definitely felt like I was drugged as well. I couldnt tell what was real and what wasnt same as Janie. The whole thing felt real, like it could happen right now.

The part where Janie finally learns more about herself and her dream catching ability, I felt like I was her. The emotions she felt the anger, the loss and most of all, the sadness was truly depicted in a gripping way.

Lisa did a wonderful job in bringing another amazing book to our hands. I highly, highly recommend this book to everyone! I cant wait until the last book in this spellbinding series Gone, coming out in Spring 2010!

Fade is the story of young Paul Moreaux who lives in a prodominent French-Canadian town. He loves to write and throughout the novel he discovers he can fade. At first Paul uses the fade for his own pleasures but the reader begins to notice that everytime he does it always backfires and he sees things he wishes he didn't see. At first I thought that it would be cool being able to be invisible, imagine the possibilities but as I continued reading the novel I realized that it wasn't so much a blessing as it was a curse. Paul is restricted and it changed his life by the end of the book I pitied those who had the burden of carrying the fade. This book like many of Robert Cormier's hits hard on humanities weaknesses and there are times where you know where he's heading but you don't want to acknowledge it. I would most definitely reccomend this book it was unbelievably written and andchanged my perspective!

Robert Cormier is one of the great YA writers, and this is his very best book. It tells of a boy who has the power to disappear - but instead of being a great trick, the ability to fade becomes a burden - especially when the boy sees things that he doesn't want to see.

As with many Cormier books, there are layers of story here, and two-thirds way through we realise the story we are reading is a manuscript being read by somebody else. By doing this, Robert Cormier involves us still more deeply in the disturbing psychology that accompanies the ability to Fade.

I think it is seriously brilliant - a book that was even better when I read it a second time.
