Nothing To See Here - Not to be missed
If you've been looking for an entertaining beach read that you can't put down this is out. Make sure you put on plenty of sunscreen because you'll quickly forget about everything. The characters are quirky, well developed and engaging. The plot is fast-moving, enveloping and just different enough to keep you guessing and involved. Definitely worth reading!

Nothing to See Here
Reading a book where you've heard that children burst into flames sounds like a zombie book for Gen-Xers, but it's not. This is a book for anyone who has ever felt like an underdog and knows, that no matter how much money you throw at a problem, it is never a substitute for love. And still knowing this, you can't put the book down; it's both fun and entertaining and before long, you're finished with the book but wish it were longer.
Karen B. (La Grange, KY)

Nothing to see here ... lots to appreciate
Funny, warm, weird, strange, absurd, witty, heart-warming, quirky, charming ... a gem. The strange premise of spontaneously combustible children somehow never degenerates into ridiculousness. Fans of Kevin Wilson will not be disappointed.

Quirky and madcap fun
I'd previously read Kevin Wilson's THE FAMILY FANG, so I was prepared for another novel with his unique blend of wit, strangeness, charm, and wild originality.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE certainly delivers on some of that promise, but it also left me wanting a bit more. FANG had truly wonderful characters -- thoroughly believable, with authentic and compelling voices. You couldn't help but feel drawn into their lives, and it was clear how much affection Wilson had for them himself. With NOTHING TO SEE HERE, I never really found my way into his characters or into the tender heart of his story.

Loving others can sometimes save ourselves
All year I have been taking a class in spirituality and self growth at my local church. Of course we have been using religious books along with our text. The bottom line of the class is "How do we grow spiritually into the person we truly are meant to be?" The class has ended and I learned so much, but never did I expect to find answers to my dilemma in a fresh new novel called Nothing to See Here, by Kevin Wilson. I applied for it as I always do for First Impressions, just hoping I will like the book enough to finish it. But I can truly say that this book was life changing for me, and I believe that many adultsmore

Nothing to see Here
From page 1, I was pulled into Kevin Wilson's Nothing to See Here. He has created intriguing characters who evoked in me mixed emotions and strong feelings. Between Lillian and Madison, especially, there is a skillful, almost delicate, rendering of the nature and complexity of their relationship.
The plot, incorporates a strong element of the paranormal, 10 year old twins who burst into flames when upset. Typically, the use of pseudoscientific theory is enough to zap my interest. However, in this story, the outlandish hoax of spontaneous human combustion works. I suspended disbelief and just went along for themore

4.5!
Weirdly funny. Lillian is coasting along in life when her best and only friend asks her to watch her step-children (twins) who spontaneously combust when agitated. Great plot and wonderful characters.

A very fine book
A little suspension of belief is helpful. Children who can set themselves on fire and not be burned are the focus of the story, yet the characters surrounding them are very real. I really enjoyed reading the book, and I recommend it.
