    <body><![CDATA[An awesome book!  The best of the series yet, full of &quot;real&quot; aliens that aren't dead, drama, death, and excitement!<br/><br/>I can't say a whole lot about this book without spoiling anything, but it's definitely awesome.<br/><br/>--Kyle]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Surprisingly gripping.  Although characterization is a bit flat.  It's all about the Goompahs.<br/>Still a very interesting &quot;idea&quot; book.]]></body>
