  <default_description>The #1 &lt;i&gt;New York Times&lt;/i&gt; bestselling author delivers a stunningly original thriller in this powerful page-turner.

&lt;i&gt;Trouble will find you
They watch you through mirrors&#8230;
&#8220;Your mother was twenty-seven when it came to her. Now you&#8217;re twenty-seven, and it&#8217;s come to you.&#8221;
The skin of Alex&#8217;s arms tingled with goose bumps. By her twenty-seventh birthday insanity had come to his mother&#8230;.&lt;/i&gt;

Turning twenty-seven may be terrifying for some, but for Alex, a struggling artist living in the mid-western United States, it is cataclysmic. Inheriting a huge expanse of land should have made him a rich and happy man; but something about this birthday, his name, and the beautiful woman whose life he just saved, has suddenly made him &#8212; and everyone he loves &#8212; into a target. A target for extreme and uncompromising violence&#8230;

Where do you turn when your own reflection spells doom?

In Alex, Terry Goodkind brings to life a modern hero in a whole new kind of high-octane thriller.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was not at all what I expected it to be. I had a vague notion that Goodkind was going to explore new territories with this novel. Not so much. Yes, it is set here on Earth, modern day and there isn't any magic. Sort of.<br/><br/>To start off with the main characters name is Alexander Rah...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76205542">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Compared to Terry Goodkind's other books, it's an easy read. Keeps you on your toes. <br/><br/>This is considered a thriller book, and something different than Goodkind's normal Fantasy book series. However, I don't think it's a thriller, I think it's more of mild suspense thriller. It does makes ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75887142">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[   I have always hated books with these kind of covers because it doesn't tell me anything about what it's going to be about, but unusually, this book caught my interest on the very first chapter. It was amazingly nice to read this book, I really enjoyed flipping these pages and having the wonder of...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69963387">more...</a>]]></body>

Finally, some fantasy with depth and vision. What made that series so incredible was the way he mixed in philosophy (the ob...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68196459">more...</a>]]></body>
