This this was So. Stressful. Part of it was the premise--it was realistically futuristic, like something DARPA might try in a couple of years.

Lois is a fantastic heroine, though. She's sort of a teenage Captain America (wrong universe, I know) who is driven by doing the right thing. It's a really pure motivation, but she's also got human quirks that make her even better. I've already requested the sequel from the library.

3.5/5 Stars

Fallout is the story of sixteen year old Lois Lane and her spot-on journalist skills. With the help of her new found friends in Metropolis and her online friend, SmallvilleGuy Lois works to uncover the scandalous and charitable donations given to her new school in the name of science experimentations.

I enjoyed this book enough. It was pretty fast paced and had some action in it, but it was lacking in the emotional department for me. I didn't connect enough to the characters, and I think there was a lack of character development throughout the book. With that being said, I am interested in reading the next books to see how things develop.

Cute story! Love that it ties into the Superman world, but that the connections are integrated nicely and don't beat you over the head. I really loved the character of Lois.

Just a note: the book skewed more toward MG than YA, but that didn't make it any less entertaining.

This was an entertaining read. I'm not a huge fan Superman, but this plays it off really well since we don't see Superman anywhere. I'd like to read the next book in the series.

I couldn't say enough good things about this book. I mean it when I say it's the perfect interpretation of who Lois Lane is. This character definitely resonated with me and I can't wait to read the sequel.

I loved Lois's voice in this story! A strong main character with an intriguing plot. I'm excited to read book 2!

A really fun, quick read that satisfied my need for an alt superhero tale. The description of this being a Veronica Mars-type story are true. This is very Mars/Nancy Drew in the best way. The supporting characters will be fun to get to know.
