I wanted to like Hooked, but it just seemed all over the place. I was often confused about where things were going within the story and how I even got where I was; it was hard to follow at times. I did like the characters. I grew to have a level of sympathy towards James. Wise took a villain and turned him into a likable and compassionate individual. I also liked Jane. She is a strong woman, and I absolutely loved how progressive she is.
