Watching Amy: Who or What Is So Interested in Amy? Paperback – September 6, 2017

by Dale Britton (Author)

4.5 16 ratings

Amy is a sixteen-year-old girl who starts to notice that something strange is happening. People are staring at her. It could be anyone- friends, family, strangers, even animals. They just freeze in place and start watching her, and they don't even seem to notice that they're doing it. And then, when she's caught in an explosion at her father's research lab, things really get nuts. Amy and her friends need to figure out the mystery of what's happening to her before it's too late, because something big is going on. And the more they learn, the more obvious it becomes that it might not just be Amy who's in danger. It might be the entire world.

A Real Surprise of a Read

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2018

Watching Amy: Who or What is So Interested in Amy? by Dale Britton was a real surprise of a read. ‘Somebody’s watching me’, or ‘looking at me funny’ is a pretty common teenage complaint. But in this story, Amy is indeed being watched. The problem is so much more than teenage angst or insecurity. This was a suspenseful tale with a surprise ending. Britton has a knack for writing teen dialogue. His characters feel real and make you care about them. They faced daily normal situations and planet-shaking dilemmas with the same lovable, open, true-hearted reactions. I highly recommend Watching Amy to sci-fi fans everywhere.

Interesting premise. Likeable main characters. The author has obviously spent a lot of time paying attention to teenagers. Realistic dialogue. Competent, loving parents. Effective subplots. So glad that I chose to spend my Friday night with this book.

The pacing in this book is fantastic. The action started right away and kept me reading the entire book. I didn't guess where it was going, and I enjoyed reading it to find out. I wouldn't have guessed it was a first book from the author. I'll look forward to reading what he does next (the preview for his next book in the back of this one sounds really cool).

Great book! A compelling story that draws you in. My son says "The best part is when you find out why everyone has been staring at Amy." Bought more to give as gifts!

Enjoyable book, fun plot, clean fiction

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2017

I wasn't planning to read this book; I just was going to check out the first couple of pages. But the plot drew me in, and I decided to keep reading.

I really enjoyed the concept; I'm a sucker for sci-fi and apocalyptic themes. The book is also very clean; it's one I would feel comfortable letting my kids (9 and 11) read it.

It's a YA book that feels like it's written for young teens. It is quite simple in its narrative style.

A couple of things that could have been better: There were some plot issues that weren't entirely believable. (For instance, why did the main character's classmates--other than her closest friends--not notice that others were staring at her?) Also, there was a subplot about mental illness, and but the character seemed to bounce back in a way that didn't feel accurate. I would have liked to see that issue addressed with more accuracy; it could have brought more depth to the book.

The good thing is, I wanted to keep reading once I started. To me, that's the most important part of reading a book--am I enjoying it enough that I'd prefer not to put it down? This is Mr. Britton's first book, and it's not perfect. But it is enjoyable, and I look forward to seeing what he publishes next.
