I could not stand to really read this book. There is a reason why I stopped after 10 pages. Part of the reason that I could not continue reading is that fact that through these 10 pages, they said each character’s name at least 10 times. It was very distracting. There is also the fact that there was no calm moments to start it off, no real alluding to an origin story.  It just dove head first into the story. Really, I would not recommend this book to anyone. It hurt my head to try and read. And just so that it is known, I did try to read the book about 3 times on different occasions. its was just that bad.

This book had a ton of humor for an epic tale! The drawing are of course all stick figures but who doesn’t love to see QUALITY work like stick figure draws? Other then this factor the story was well written and gave me a few good laughs here and there. If you need a good book to cheer you up a bit, this book would be it. As for a good story read, well, its better to just have it around the house for kids. But a good book none the less. If you need a good laugh pick this book up!

This is one of the strangest books I have read. However it was really good, kind of dark. The plot is a lot different than most other books. It’s not just a sappy love story, but a story with a deeper plot in figuring out what life is about for each individual. This was Leah Clifford’s first book and I am excited for the next in this trilogy.

So this one in a nut shell is how Future Africa can’t make any more babies. And WW3 just finished and the world is now in kind of “remnants” (but not quite like Fall Out), Now just saying that may peak your interest, but I have a problem with this book. One, is that they have made up lingo and culture. Now given that I don’t expect them in 2069 to have the same lingo as us, but it seems at times to try too hard, or to revert to what we use now. Like the term “S’teener”, I don’t even know how to read that! Another problem, is that in this book it seems a bit obsessed with the idea of the main female role being raped. Now I don’t know what it’s like, but I don’t like how it’s just every turn it’s the same thing. Does she wear like a skirt that like a strip of cloth or something? Finally I would say the thing that really separated me  from this book was how alien Michael made it, I understand it’s a whole new world, but it is just difficult to understand and relate to some of the characters problems. They have problems that would be common for people of this age. You don’t see them as people but rather rag dolls in this whole ordeal. I really like to relate to my protagonists as it makes them more than just characters in my eyes, so when tragedy strikes you feel it as if was your friend going through it. That kind of feeling in your gut when expensive china breaker and you cringe.

Long story short, if you are in dire need of something “new” this will satisfy the need, but for any person who likes run of the mill, events after WW3 I would say a pass, but the whole part of the story where the explain “Africa can no has babies!”, I kinda chuckled as Michael doesn’t know exactly what he’s talking about when he talks about genes and what makes them change.

(can always use more cowbell!)

I would recommend this book because it is funny and you will fall in love with the characters. I liked it. It was funny and it sucked me in since the first paragraph. I loved how no matter what situation Gina was in, she could give you a witty and sassy comment for just about anything and how she could make a bad situation in to a funny one and she has an awesome fashion sense. If you lived the first book, then you will love this one.  Middle school and high school girls should probably read this.    Reviewed By Jessica J.

I liked this book because it is about teen life, a situation that is done over and over, but has a new twist. I didn’t like how it took a while for the plot to hit the climax. Just as I was getting bored, however, the plot grabbed my attention. I think this book is geared to teenagers or young adult because it has understandable situations targeted for that audience. I believe other people would enjoy the book because it is about a simple twist of fate that changes the lives of two teenagers.

Although this book is for a younger audience, the humor and adventure of it keeps you hooked. The young go-getter named Kevin finds himself in a plethora of situations that will make or break his chances of becoming filthy rich. I really enjoyed this book because I could really connect and compare myself to Kevin because just like every young kid, I dreamt of being successful and rich when I was young. Kevin gets himself into situations that are fun and humorous. I would recommend this book but to a younger audience. Although it was a fun read I feel as though you need to be younger to truly appreciate the humor and story.

This is one of the best books I’ve ever read it truly had the perfect plot. Every part of the book is interesting and leaves the reader enthralled. The concept of action mixed with some mystery kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The author’s specific use of details to only give a brief over view ensured I would keep interest throughout the whole book. Anyone who enjoys a good story with a little suspicion and some action would surely appreciate this book. It’s a book that should be read because overall it is a nail bitter and will keep anyone entertained.

But wait, what if you want a good story? Berserk’s got you covered, it’s an incredibly vast deep story. Each character deeply detailed in their motivation, and their emotions, growing as the story unfolds. Willing to go into the fears and ideas of murder, sexual scars and other fields, he doesn’t hold back. This series has a kind of Greek tragedy set up to it, and is extremely well worth the read.
