Customer Reviews
Thought it would be interesting
The overall premise had me intrigued, but the characters and plot lack depth. I’ve enjoyed other books from this author, but this one seams to be written for children. The dialogue and vocabulary are simplistic; perfect for an 8 to 12 year old.
I was expecting more....
That said, it is a great book for kids. It has all the elements that kids love.
A great read
Have been trying to get back into reading and just can’t seem to focus. Transmission locked me in and kept my attention from start to finish. Will definitely be reading the rest of the series!
Part of a book
My own experience with reading puts this book a two star. I expect a book to have an opening, middle and a closing. This book barely got to the middle. Disappointing enough I’m not inclined to read more.
