Publisher's summary

He's not like other guys.

Liz has seen him around school. It's hard to miss Max - the tall, blond, blue-eyed senior stands out among all the other students at Roswell High. So why is he such a loner?

Max is in love with Liz. He loves the way her eyes light up when she laughs and the way her long, black hair moves when she turns her head. Most of all, he loves to imagine what it would be like to kiss her.

But he knows he can't get too close. He can't risk her discovering the truth about who he is - or what he is....

Because the truth could kill her.

show vs book

wanted to see how the books and the show compared and when I was listening to this book there are obviously a little more details that the show didn't have so was interesting to learn new things as well as replaying the show while reading. look forward to the other books

The reader ruined it for me.

I'm a huge fan of all things Roswell. But not this audiobook. Granted, the book is different from the tv series in integral ways that were distracting for me, attached as I am to those actors' portrayals. But I still could have rolled with it were it not for the fact that the reader ruined it. I don't know where they found this guy when there are more than enough actually competent readers who, no doubt, would welcome the gig. This guy sounded like a 4th grade boy reading his book report. My ears were insulted. I felt myself constantly mimicking him sarcastically, which probably made several people on the street consider me a crazy person. Do yourself a favor, stream the 1999 series on Hulu. Or just read the book. You'll get much more pleasure out of that.
