Amazon.com Review:
When Wally West learns The Secret of Barry Allen, it turns out to be more than he wanted. After all, the main thing on his mind is why his wife, Linda, has left, apparently a repercussion of the Spectre's attempt to reestablish Wally's secret identity by wiping it from everyone's minds. That also causes problems with the Justice League, who are now wondering why they no longer know who their teammate is. And that's not even mentioning the rogues' gallery of villains plotting to bring the Flash down. The three-part title story involves a crossover with the famous Identity Crisis story line, and the moral/ethical dilemma surrounding what the League did to Doctor Light proves to be only part of the story. Collects Flash issues 207-211 and 213-217. --David Horiuchi

This graphic novel is fantastic. It realy opens up the world of Wally West. After the loss of his two children, thanks to Zoom, Linda leaves him and it drives him crazy. This is a must have for all Flash fans. It also ties in with Identity Crisis which is pretty cool. Trust me, if you love Wally West as The Flash, just pick this one up. I also reccomend, "Rouge War" and "Blitz" Here's the best way to read these stories in order.
1. Blitz
2. The Secret of Barry Allen
3. Rouge ... Read More

The secret of Barry Allen is nothing but disappointing.
For those of us who witnessed the birth of the Silver Age Flash we thought there would be some earth-shaking revelation to reveal the hero's feet of clay. Sad to say his secret is no more disturbing than the announcement that he didn't floss after every meal.
Batman refers to Superman as a 'boy scout' but the real boy scout, the hero who didn't curse or spit, was Barry Allen's Flash.
The artwork was nice, but the plot was non ... Read More

It's sad that some readers can't accept the idea of heroes not always doing the right thing. I personally find that it makes the more human. I applaud DC for trying to shake up their status-quo, while Marvel plays catch-up.

The Secret of Barry Allen is a trade paperback collecting issues #207 - 211 & 213 - 217 in this 240 page volume, coinciding with the Identity Crisis storyline which will be arriving in a hardcover collection very soon. Wally West has been granted a boon by the Spectre to have knowledge of his true identity totally erased from the world...and not only from the average man on the street, but EVERYONE, including the JLA. This was as a result of the events of Identity Crisis where someone (can't give that ... Read More

In contradiction to the other reviewers of this book, I really enjoyed the book. The last couple of year's writer Geoff Johns is creating an epic Flash saga. This volume continues to pick up steam and I really looking forward to the pay-off of this saga in the next volume. As a stand-alone volume, the book offers a very entertaining and dramatic story. The tie-in with Identity Crisis is handled well and doesn't hinder the reading experience. This volume is not the ideal book to pick up by newbies. I suggest ... Read More
