Flash: The Haunting of Barry Allen

his book has everything I didn't know that I needed in the tv show. Something about this book that I like is that it shows the other side of the coin: the villains, and not just the heroes. Too many shows about heroes don't really show the villains too much, until it's time for the hero to take them down. Well, this book changes that by showing what Peekaboo, Weather Wizard, and Pied Piper were up to, as well as Team Flash were up to. When Barry starts blurring, and having hallucinations I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see when he was going to come out of the blur. Also, I felt Team Flash's panic as they try to find out why Barry's powers are glitching. With each blur I was on the edge of my seat, and I was worried for Barry's health, and safety. What if he doesn't come out of the blur this time? That was my main worry. Although, I must admit, Team Arrow took their sweet time coming into this book, and I was beginning to wonder if they were ever going to show up, but when they did finally show up, I was a happy camper. I am a little disappointed that Wally wasn't in this though. I wanted to see his reaction to Barry having these glitches. Also, it's hard to tell when this is set. Either way, this book was amazing, and I felt like I was watching an episode of the show, rather than reading a book. I can't wait to get into the sequel. Side note: I HATE mass market paperback. Why was that the only edition of this book?

As HUGE fan of the CW show The Flash, I couldn't hold back my inner nerd as I ordered this book. And I can't express how glad I am that I did!Not only did the authors do an award winningly accurate depiction of all the beloved characters, they created a interesting and fast moving plot line that did not feel rushed. They delved into the characters involved, drawing you in and really connecting you to their situation, thoughts and sentiments on the circumstances they faced...it really felt like a new arc of the TV show unfolding as I read it. Barry was always precious in the show (and my favorite character) and they did fantastic job writing him; felt really accurate to the show.The premise was interesting and what drew me in, and I love that they brought in the Arrow. What's more, the way the authors depict the friendship between Barry and Oliver is spectacular! I flew through the book and have already ordered the book that follows! Can't wait to see what happens next and to see the relationship between The Flash and Arrow develop as they tackle a whole new set of challenges as a combined team!Would heavily recommend for anyone who's a fan of the show!!

I was so excited to see this book I bought it right away! I am in love with Arrow and enjoy Flash as well. I watch the shows religiously. The story stars with Barry and we see him start to have some "glitches". Eventually, he realizes that this is not going to go away on it's own and calls in help from Team Arrow. Soon enough both Barry and Oliver are working hard to solve the issue and cure the Flash. The story continues with the next book set in the Arrow side of things. I have read both and completely enjoyed them. As I said in the next review, the comic relief provided by Cisco when mixed with both teams is just fantastic. Plenty of happy geek moments. As a die-hard Green Arrow fan I was very pleased with this book and would absolutely recommend it to fans of both Flash and Arrow.

I was unsure about buying this from the book summery. I almost didn't in fact. I decided to do so because it contained Flash and Arrow. So, I took a chance. I am very glad that I did. This book was very well written. Everything was spot on other than when exactly the book takes place. It doesn't feel like it fits exactly into the Arrowverse timeline. That's my one complaint and keeps it from being five stars.

This book was a fantastic read! I bought this book to satisfy my needs for more amazing Arrow and Flash team ups and wasn't disappointed. Not only does it start out as a great Flash read with drama, angst and action but when Oliver shows up it gives that team up dynamic that I love. I highly recommend this book if your fans of the show.

I watched the TV series for the Flash, and I thouroghly enjoyed this book. Barry starts having blurs, where he can 't see, hear, or touch anything around him. He sees friends and foes from the past during blurs, and even the future Barry. The blurs are caused by Plasma reeased into Barry from the wormhole that Eobard Thawne created. I greatly recommend this book. It features Hartley Rathaway, Mark Mardon, Shawna Baez, Kyle Nimbus, and Roy Bivolo.

Feels just like the show from the dialogue between characters to the scene changes. Just so you know, it's set sometime after season 2. I didn't give it the full five stars because I felt like the Arrow POV didn't quite catch the character enough, but still a great read if you like the Arrowverse

I am reading this to my 9 year old and she loves The vocabulary used would be challenging for her if she read it by herself, but it gives us a good opportunity to expand her vocab when I read it. it. It tracks all the characters and plots from the tv show.

Awesome

Go this for my son and he loves it
