I’m sorry to say that I really didn’t care for this novel. The cover is pretty cool, but the storyline didn’t interest me as I had hoped. I was unable to connect with the characters, and though Will is actually trapped in a 16-year-old body, I kept imagining him as a 40-year-old man. It was always a little jarring for me when one of the characters remarked on Will’s looks and I’d remember that he’s supposed to look like a 16-year-old. Of course, I understand that his mannerism are going to be different, and that he’s a very mature “16 year old,” but I really struggled visualizing him as anything younger than 40. In fact, I had this issue with all the characters... To read my full review (9/21): http://wp.me/p1jhaj-PG Egmont USA has been extremely gracious in allowing me to read a copy of this novel, via Netgalley, prior to its release on September 27, 2011
I loved this book and I'm glad I had chose to read it. I can't wait until I check out The Speaker of the Dead. I thought this book would be another boring sci-fi written specifically for the male audience, but I enjoyed this book. I would reccomend it for anybody who enjoys a book that leaves somewhat of an impact.
