Lost 2: Secret Identity ReviewThis book is actually less than 170 pages long, so calling it a "novel" is a bit of a stretch. It's even shorter than "Endangered Species", the first "Lost" novelization published a few months ago. I bought this, as with the first book, solely because I am an unreformed "Lost" freak and wanted to give the book series every chance to be as interesting as "Lost" the TV show before I gave up on it.
As with "Endangered Species", the lead character here is not a character from the TV show, in spite of the huge blurry close-up photo of Matthew Fox on the cover. The protagonist is Dexter Cross, an Ivy League student from a rich family who awakes from the Oceanic 815 crash with strange gaps in his memory, a missing girlfriend, and a doppelganger stalking other survivors on the island. Although his story is predictable, Dexter is at least more sympathetic than Faith from the first book.
Where "Endangered Species" utterly lacked any sense of "Lost"'s inventiveness, "Secret Identity" successfully borrows many of "Lost"'s core mysteries. Indeed, the book even ends with a couple of unanswered questions. The action takes place primarily between scenes from episodes 2 and 3, as Dexter interacts with most of the TV characters, primarily Shannon and Boone. This book also takes advantage of the extended TV cast; Arzt particularly has a lot to do. Odd-numbered chapters take place in the present, and even-numbered chapters flash back to Dexter's past. Amusingly, there are 23 chapters; I'd like to think that is not a coincidence. There's a joke about Hurley looking as if he just won the lottery, and Kate even obliquely references the title to episode 3 ("Tabula Rasa").
"Secret Identity" is never going to be mistaken for a novel by E.L. Doctorow, or even by Michael Chabon. It is a modestly successful time-waster that you can read in precisely 60 minutes on Wednesday night when "Lost" is in reruns... although you'll still learn more from the rerun.Lost 2: Secret Identity Overview
