So when is the version for the iPad coming out? $;-)

Great read, Matt. It's really engaging -- one of those books where you've been reading for a while and it's getting late, and you tell yourself "I'll stop at the end of this chapter." By the end of which you continue on because you just have to know what happens next.

This book would make a great movie.

I read the first three and they really are pretty good. One thing I noticed is I kept going back and reading a bit more because I wanted to find out what happened to the characters.

I had to fight the urge to skip ahead. I have just about quit reading books now but am glad I made an exception with these.

Another thing I liked about them is I learn a lot about technology which I was unaware of.

One interesting thing to me is I had formed a mental picture of one of the villains, in fact it was so strong that I really could see his face, but then it did not match the description later given in the book. I had him pictured much uglier.

Not really. Every time I turn a page, the popcorn falls on the floor. And if the light is turned up bright enough to read, it kind of takes the romance out of making out in the back row seats.

Yep, this one would be sized just right for a feature length film.

It'll never happen though, not in today's PC America.

That film will only run in the Theater of the Mind.

I second that, Matt! I was screentyping this book in my head as I read it. Beautiful scenery, engaging characters, danger and love. I see the end scene in my head as I'm typing this with a shot of Kilmer's face, a wink, pan out and fade to black. Ready-made sequel!
