2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Another fantastic book! By Jaron Lehman An absolutely amazing sequel. I loved the direction taken in this book. Some points of the plot were cleared up, others dramatically obscured in clever twists and turns. If you enjoyed Slumbering (Book One), I guarantee you'll enjoy Calling. Hamilton as a character only gets better with time, it seems! C.S. Johnson's style is unique and distinguishable throughout the entire novel.Anyone who likes fantasy and similar genres- I highly recommend this series to you! You won't be able to put it down.

By neha After reading Slumbering , I was very excited to reveal more of the superheroes power and Hamilton's internal turmoil and life ..this book is just fantastic as first part ..nice bickering between Humdinger and Raiya (I really love this girl:) ). Awesome and mysterious characters. BTW Great flow of story, it's like pealing mystery layer by layer!! Looking forward to 'Awakening' and more secrets of Starry knight and lets not forget Elysian..(he is so cute)...
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Another great, thought-provoking story By cactrot It had been a while since I read C.S. Johnson's Slumbering (book I of The Starlight Chronicles), so I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't remember enough of the story to get into the sequel.Fortunately, Johnson does an excellent job pulling you back into the life of Hamilton Dinger without having to retread every event and every character in the previous book. I remember when I finally read through the Harry Potter series I had the suspicion that the books got longer and longer simply because of all the past events that needed to be recounted. 'Calling' doesn't do this, and before I knew it I found myself enrolled in High School alongside Hamilton and his quirky friends.As with the previous work, there are strong spiritual themes. These are clothed in the language of super heroes, and so they avoid some of the cliches that one normally encounters in religious fiction. It is kept just out of sight, where it can be sensed, but where it doesn't interrupt the story. You can tell throughout the story that the moral/philosophical/spiritual ideas and emotional angst the characters wrestle with are more than just plot devices. The author has clearly thought them through and felt them for herself.I mentioned in my previous review that the author on occasion passed from the past tense to the present when recounting some of the more intense action sequences. It is effective when it appears; and so far the only other author I have seen use this technique is Jules Verne (as I learned recently while reading his Journey to the Center of the Earth). So Johnson is in good company there.One last noteworthy detail is the fact that Johnson really manages to make the main character's growth very believable. Even starting from where he left of in the previous book it is clear that Hamilton Dinger - just like all the rest of us real human beings - still has a long way to go.This is NOT my favorite genre by a long shot. I don't particularly like first person narration (the humor of watching Hamilton's cool-kid mind makes this enjoyable, however), I don't like reading about high school (the realism of high school life makes the reading nostalgic), I don't like super heroes (the focus on interpersonal matters makes this an interesting setting nonetheless). I don't know exactly what it is, but somehow C.S. Johnson manages to pull me into the story anyway. And, honestly, I am looking forward to more.
