Fragmented is an interesting concept that shows the readers a different view on alien abduction. For instance, the abducted are taught how to use their brain and I don't mean in how to think but rather for things humans usually cannot do such as telepathy.
I had a bit of problems in the beginning with the teaching but once that was over with, I really enjoyed the book. The characters, especially the humans, Gwen and Tom, were likeable but I also loved Jonah, Delphi and, believe it or not, Tudor. I could relate to him and understand his anger, which is rare usually when it comes to villain.
I love alien stories. While I don't mind invasions, to read something different was a welcome change.

I love books that take something you already know and give it a new twist. I have never really gotten into stories that use telepathy or telekinesis as I just didn't like them. Such stories seem to use "mind over matter" as an easy cop out.
This story didn't create that feel. It was something new, different and I really liked the storyline. The dialog moved well between the characters. I really liked the joke about Tinkerbell, I won't spoil it for you.
Is this going to be a series because this could be a good start.
