The Meliorist | 28 Sep 2011
Although this novel was clearly not for me as a reader, its movie-like (ie., completely outrageous) thriller plot may make it engaging for some readers, although likely of a middle grade rather than young adult audience.

Letters Inside Out | 22 Aug 2011
Tunnel Vision is very suspenseful. The fact that they cannot trust anyone, is so sad. We all know the media is relentless in tracking people, but the fact that this story could be real seriously upsets me.

Great Imaginations | 18 Aug 2011
But I do think Tunnel Vision will be a favorite read of a select few. But it will not find a large audience because of the very choppy and strange style it is written in.

Reading With Mo | 16 Aug 2011
It can be negative or positive, but I need resolution. Otherwise, what is the point? That is exactly how I felt at the end of this book. I was asking myself, why would someone write a book that goes nowhere?

The Book Cellar | 17 Aug 2011
This book came to no conclusion. I finished the book, with absolutely nothing happening. The plot ties hadn’t been tied up, nothing like that.

The Book Muncher | 16 Nov 2011
Now, I do like a healthy dose of action in my books, to keep me excited about reading, as well as questions to keep me interested, but it’s rather unsatisfying when the book is only about action and questions.

Good Thing The World Is Round | 18 Jun 2012
It’s an okay book, that I think I liked better the first time I read it, but I can’t honestly say that I was in love with it. But I’ll let you be the judge of that!

The Musings of a Book Addict | 14 Aug 2011
This is one I’ll recommend to my students. The actions just keeps building to the point you can’t put it down and it becomes a very quick read. I look forward to reading more by this author.

Immersed in Young Adult Lit | 25 Jun 2012
The mystery unravels at the end, although I didn’t feel like there was enough closure to leave me satisfied. At least it’s not one of those predictable endings where everyone lives happily ever after. (Gag me, please.) That’s all I’ll say.

Crowding the Book Truck | 23 Sep 2011
Witness Protection Program books usually bother me because the characters often make really bad choices for really bad reasons. But I was pleasantly surprised with Tunnel Vision.

Journey of a Bookseller | 3 Aug 2011
With the murderers and the press on their trail, life is not very pleasant. This story has the ring of truth in it, though. It's the story of a young woman and her father trying to stay alive and it's chilling.

Amazing writing, amazing characters and one heck of a story line, Tunnel Vision is my favorite book this year. I have never been so taken back and surprised by a book. Simply fantastic!

Kirkus Reviews | 15 Jun 2011
An emotional roller-coaster ride through adolescent angst and thriller suspense.

Publishers Weekly | 1 Aug 2011
The open ending is realistically uncertain, a lack of closure that further cements readers' connection to Liza's feelings of futility, helplessness, and confusion.
