Erin's writing is beautiful and fluid, and while this sounds a bit like some other books out there, it's deeper, richer, and more finely drawn. Claire is a wonderful character and there's a bit of her in all of us: the ordinary girl in extraordinary circumstances who is afraid to admit that perhaps she isn't so ordinary after all.I adored Claire and the premise of the book. I love the setting and the way that Erin weaves everything together. Readers will eat this up like a bowlful of dessert. If you're looking for a quick, easy read, The Exceptionals is a good choice. While I didn't find it amazing or anything, The Exceptionals was a solid read. It gets three stars from me for two reasons. First, even though I enjoyed reading it, it wasn't a story that really, to me, stood out as a 're-read'. Second, it's another book that sets up a series, which would be fine, but it doesn't look like the publisher has picked it up as a series. Don't get me wrong, there is a complete story, but even with that, it felt like there should be more.Regardless of my 'issues' with The Exceptionals, I would totally recommend it to younger YA readers or those looking for a female driven young adult novel.

I loved this book! I read it in one sitting, and couldn't tear myself away. I'm hoping for a sequel!

A total waste of time. I think this book "might" be enjoyed by 9 or 10 years old .... not adults.

This was a terrific book. Fast paced, well written and suspensful. I hope there's a sequel - soon!

I really liked this book. I was always surprised at what happened next, I never saw it coming.
