Summary: A harrowing new series begins.
Comment: Jack Dwyer is devastated over his best friend Artie's death. Artie had been with him for a long time, and had made him feel normal since the death of his mother nine years ago. Even with the help of friends Bill and Molly, something still seems disturbing about Artie's murder. Then, an amazing thing happens -- Artie appears before Jack as a ghost, more than once, and tells him of the Prowlers, hideous and brutal creatures that
prey on humans all over the world. No one can see them -- except
for Jack. And when the Prowlers discover that Jack knows about their secret, everyone is in danger. Jack is in for the wildest
and most terrifying journey of his life. The first thrilling
book in the Prowlers series is among one of the best young adult fiction books I have ever read. And, it's long too, so readers
are in for one long, wild, and suspenseful trip.

Summary: ...
Comment: Jack Dwyer runs a bar in Boston with his sister Courtney and is having a pretty good life. However, the morning after a date, Jack wakes up to find out that his best friend Archie was murdered. Later, as if things weren't bad enough, Artie's ghost appears from a place called the ghostlands to warn Jack about the things caused Artie's death: the Prowlers. The Prowlers are wolflike creatures that are able to masquerade as humans and have been living since before mankind appeared. When Jack sees the damage the Prowlers can cause first hand, he wants revenge. Jack has decided to hunt the Prowlers, but with bold leader Owen Tanzer, things won't be easy. Unfortunately, the Prowlers know where Jack lives, and they want to hunt. However, when a group of Prowlers attacks the bar, Jack's world goes even more out of wack... Prowlers is a great book and one that I definitely recommend reading.

Summary: They're real, They're here, and They'll find you............
Comment: Prowlers is a page-turning book of discovery by Christopher Golden. It is a wonderful book. The genre of it is fantasy. I am not a big fantasy person but this was a good book. I would recommend it for young adults that like a book with supernatural beings. It does get a little gory sometimes but it is not too bad.
Jack Dwyer is the main character of this book. He, along with his sister Courtney, run Bridget's Irish Pub in Boston. Their mother, Bridget, died nine years ago in a car crash. As I said this story is set in Boston, which is a good place for the book to be set in. For story purposes it is large and for audience purposes people can recognize the city. It makes this story more believable.
In the story Jacks best friend Artie and his one time girlfriend Kate, are killed. Jack and Molly, Arties serious girlfriend, are devastated. They are left to deal with the pain. It seems to them that they will never get over their friends' deaths. But then Arties ghost, who wanders the Ghostlands, visits Jack. He tells Jack that he wasn't murdered by something human. He was killed by monsters, Prowlers, who masquerade as humans. They hide out in large cities and kill people until they are almost revealed and then move on. Jack wants revenge and he decides that he is going to get it. He teams up with Molly to get back and destroy these monsters. But you never know who is a prowler and who isn't.
The characters are very finely drawn in this book. They defiantly develop as the story goes on. They change and grow in ways they didn't think were possible. But what captivated me was Goldens' writing style. I was in suspense the whole book. I couldn't put this book down. I really liked how he started off the book. I was pulled into the story by the first line.
There is really no moral to the story and this book is defiantly different from his others. I think he needed a change of style. Which is good because he keeps his fans guessing. The one thing he could have done better is describing the lesser characters. They don't seem as real at the main characters do. But all in all, this book is one of my favorites. I plan to read the sequel, and there is defiantly room for a sequel and series for this story.
