This book made me really glad that I was born at 8 am!

I'm not really sure what to say about this book.

The premise is that there used to be 25 hours in the day and the 25th hour was removed from normal life by the creatures that make up our nightmares when we started to fight back. Now the creatures are only "alive" during that one lost hour, when everyone else is frozen. But people who were born at midnight are still alive/awake in the hour and can move about. They also have some cool power during that hour, but then there are all the "slithers" and other things that may try to eat you. But the 25th hour only happens at some places around the globe. Really it just gets more confusing from there.

I liked the book, it was engaging and a little silly. But when I finished it I wasn't sure if I cared what happens in book 2. So I'm not sure how good it can really be.
