A long book that had a strangely well-done opening to what felt like a very drawn-out middle section to an exciting conclusion. I'm liking this series, despite being only through the first book. It has its flaws, no doubt about it.
(spoiler) there's a nuclear power plant that somehow does not meltdown after two weeks of unauthorized supervision, and I think still is active in the second book (i've only read the short extract from the end of the first book, which does not mention anything about the nuclear power plant) and I've been wondering on how it hasn't gone through a meltdown yet? Strange.
I highly doubt psychopathic sadist 14 year-olds exist in real life, and I feel, once again, the same problem every story faces, that the antagonists are not very well great in terms of personality. But, Sir Michael Grant has done something strange; he made the main antagonist make sense, kind of. Well, to the best of his ability. Maybe the villain that he conjured up is incredibly well-written or explained and my few braincells are unable to understand the book. Who really knows?
4 stars out of 5, it's a pretty good book 👍. Now then, I'm craving a pizza for some reason. I don't know. The book just makes me want to have pizza after finishing the read. Or maybe that's because I like pizza. Alright, thanks for reading my review, dear stranger. It is late in the night and I am very tired.
Take some good rest, sleep well!
