I thought it was a pretty good book. My favorite part was the ending because all seems right in the world. I liked the setting because it made me feel as if I were actually in the book. My favorite character was Samantha, she was just pretty cool. I could not put the book down, it hooked me in and would not let go.
This fast-paced, nerve wracking, edge-of-your-seat-story is bursting with adventure, danger, and excitement!!! I loved this book; it was flawless!! Peggy Eddleman did a wonderful job on this story; there were no bad or confusing parts. I recommend this book for readers who like excitement and adventure! I loved the characters. Hope was courageous and thought of others before herself. Aaren was always cautious and adventurous. Brock was brave and spontaneous. I also loved the plot in this book. How it was in the future but very similar to our lives. I felt like I could connect to the characters. I recommend Sky Jumpers to readers who like adventure.
I wasn’t happy when I found out Captive was a book two when I hadn’t read book one. I could understand the main gist of the book, but I couldn’t understand the minor subtleties of this story. In the end, though, it didn’t matter. The story kept me riveted anyway, even if it is considered a romance. The author had a way with words to make it seem like you were right there in the book, too. Overall, this book was great, but very violent. Punishments were harsh and usually meant death. There were quite a few bad words also. The surprise ending made me want to read book three immediately. Aimee Carter made a great series for adventurous readers. I would recommend this book for ages 13 and up.
J.H. Soder’s Element 238: The Search for Truth was written atop a strong dystopian foundation and born from a solid blueprint. However, the construction itself could use a bit of touching up; the first half of the short novel felt heavy with the repetition of an overplayed practical joke and was slow in picking up. The interest level began to gain speed with the second half, in which Thomas Harding took the spotlight and began to heat the plot up with a futuristic Bunsen burner. With his character’s development, readers began to really understand the impact of Mensam and its actions on the world as we know it, plus the action became more relevant to the overall plot. Also, there were a few structural mishaps as there was an abundance of exclamation points and a paucity of contractions, especially in dialogue. That being said, Soder’s Element 238 was an interesting read that would be a potential read for science fiction fans in middle school or above.
The Watcher is an exciting book that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the beginning! The author makes it seem like you’re in the book, experiencing Wendy’s adventures with her. The book is historical fiction, even though the characters seem life-like. The plot is slightly complex; an in-depth story that requires undistracted reading. Therefore it should be rated for 10-14 year olds. I highly recommend you read The Watcher, not only is it jam packed with adventure, it also has mystery and suspense thrown in with it!
My little sisters loved this book! This book is very fun book for young kids. It holds their interest and it gets their imagination going at the same time. It grasps their attention while it teaches them basic preparation for bedtime such as brushing their teeth, putting on pajamas, etc. I recommend this book for parents who have children who don’t like bedtime, as well as preschool teachers who like getting a variety of books for their class. The age group that will be most interested in this book is 2-6.
I really liked The Miyran Heir: The Journey of the Marked as it was very adventurous, thrilling, and action-packed. The author, Rebecca P. McCray, did a really good job with developing each and every character and gave them some very fitting personality traits. For example, Tip, the Liput, was a comedian who liked to crack jokes. The author also did a good job making the characters, and even the world they live on, seem convincing. One of the only flaws that I saw with the book, though, was that a lot of the time it kept flipping between three through five stories. This, at times, made it difficult to follow the story line. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure, mystery, or excitement, but can also handle some death and blood. I am anxiously awaiting book two and hope it comes out soon.
I didn’t like this book at first. The characters didn’t seem to make sense to me and some things were out of order. After I got into the story, I really enjoyed it. I think the beginning of a book is harder for authors to write because they have all these ideas floating around inside their heads waiting to come out. Once they finish the first chapter or so, they tend to realize that not everything they planned will fit with the particular story. The more the author writes, the easier it is to swim through the ideas straight to the ones that will work. I think the story was fine and the plot was interesting. I also think the author did a great job with this book. I can’t wait to read more from her. I recommend this book for people 12+.
Let's Get Lost was a very interesting book to read. It was written in 5 parts, each told from a different chracter's perspective- Hudson, Bree, Elliot, Sonia, and Leila- and the characters were believable. Many of the events in the book could possibly happen. My favorite part of Let's get Lost is that throughout the book, the author is very descriptive, and in each part, the author reveals a little more information about why Leila is going on this trip. Overall this book was very enjoyable and I would recommend it to people age 12 and up.
This book is boring to me; the book never picks up the pace. Sure at one or two points you get a bit of suspense or intrigue. But even then it only lasted a page or two. The tone is completely monotone, and I wanted to skip parts. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone who likes action or fast paced books. I must say my least favorite thing was that I had a hard time figuring out whose point of view it was; though that is only me. When reading the point of view was constantly changing, and it was hard to keep track of who was talking or thinking. So its tricky trying to keep track of the story.
