Customer Reviews
Great read a lil cheesy
I first read this book back in middle school it immediately captivated my attention, I couldn’t put the book down. Here I am years later finding myself reading it and still enjoying Every last bit of it from the romance to the adventure.
Very good
Very good, can't wait for the sequel to come out. I met the author, he's a funny nice guy. Kevin, if you read this, I'm the kid who plays drums and reads old books. ;) One of the few modern books I enjoyed. Keep it up!
Fast paced, good for boys into YA
Full disclosure: I am friends with the author. That being said, I'm really impressed with the summer camp-driven, dystopian world created by Kevin here. The love for his subject matter and the care put into a small, concentrated cast of characters make for a delightful read that combines summer camp with some science-fiction stuff that maybe hits a little too close to home. Young adult fiction often ignores the awkward transition into growing up that boys face, too. Kevin really nails that here, and the kid inside of me really appreciated that. If the lost code never becomes a film, this book will at least create a movie-like feeling your head, for sure.
