Midnighters~ Scott Westerfield

Midnighters #1: The Secret HourI read the first three in this series at the beginning of this week.  I know, bad blogger!  I give it three books (out of five).

An interesting series.  A little too sexual, in my opinion, for its young audience.  A special group of people, born at midnight, are able to access a fissure in time.  Every night the stroke of midnight lasts one hour for them.  Unfortuenatly, midnight is not a safe time.  Throughout the first three books you meet the core characters, learn their difficulties and their gifts.  There's a lot of interesting history, math and physics to be found in these stories.  Pretty good for light adult reading, but a little too sexual for young teens.  I know kids play these games, but I'm not sure it's good for them to read about it.
