Summary: Take my advise and read this fab book!!!!
Review: As you have probably guessed from the title of my review i like this book although it was somewhat confusing at the start. BUT, don't let that put you off reading the book. It seems that Yogo is getting more anxious to run the small group of Remnants that survived the Mayflowers journey through the depths of space. Tamara Hoyle and her freaky baby are beggining to scare the group. Billy just getts stranger as the book progresses. He seems to be able to tap into peoples minds and sense what their feeling. This may come in useful later on. It may even save their lives.In the book 2 more remnants appear.Mother makes a deal with Yago. He launches an attack on another alier race. Read the book to find out more. It may not be the most exciting of the books so far but it makes the next one look great in a way only K.A. Applegate can achieve. Its a shame that it will take a while for the next few to arrive on our shelves but until then we can keep our imaginations running like mad.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Action movie or book?
Review: i think that this book really picks up the pace in the series. sometimes though, i felt that the author tried to rush things and didn't explain them well. overall though, this book really explain's yago and is one of the better remnant's books. i though think that the first is the best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yago gets some
Review: The Remnants are a group of survivors that escaped from the asteroid that wiped out earth and have been floating in space for 500 years in hibernation. Then they landed on a ship and are now trapped on that ship controlled by a super computer called Mother. They are now going to challenge Mother. The other people that have tried to fight and take over have failed and have now gone crazy. There only hope now is a boy named Billy that has some how been able to create a bond with mother. They also learn through him that Mother is lonely and about the Shipwrights. They have also learned that Mother can create new environments and even new worlds. She can even create a computer-generated earth. But will they survive long enough for Billy to take over?
I thought that this is a great book. This is one of the best-written books that I have ever read. I would suggest reading the others and this one if you???re a Sci-fi fan.

Summary: Wow, this series is wack
Review: The Remnants continue their struggle with a world created by Mother, the powerful computer who seems to have human qualities. The few people who have faced Mother have failed miserably, but the Remnants have one hope, Billy, the kid who stayed awake all 500 years of their journey. He is the only one who has been able to creat a bond with her. From Mother, through Billy, the Remnants learn much about the lonely negelected computer, including the fact that she was made by the powerful Shipwrights. Soon the Remnants figure out that Mother has the ability to recreate Earth too but the Remnants know she will ask something in return. Yago, against many people's wishes, makes a deal with Mother to let her delve into his mind and recreate Earth. In return Yago agrees to destroy the Children for Mother, otherwise know as the "Blue Meanies" A computer generated battle takes place as the projections of Civil War Soliders take on the Blue Meanies. Will the Remnants survive the battle they can't even control?

This wasn't one of the best Remnants books and thing definitely got weirder. Some things I felt were a little out of control weird. This book did have some pretty impressive revelations as we get to know the baby's true identity. We also meet 2 new Remnants who have been separated from the rest of the Remnants and held captive by the Children.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Remnants are being stalked by a secret enemy...
Review: The strange connection that Mother has to Billy is keeping the Remnants alive, but Billy can't bargain with the powerful machine forever. A decision has to be made -- should she be trusted, or should she be left alone, which will possibly create more dangers for the group? As Billy tries to understand the torment raging inside Mother's mind -- if it has one -- it seems as if there are Remnants who want to destroy not only Billy, but all the other Remnants as well. These mysterious people, living in secrecy but obviously stronger than Jobs and the others, have a dangerous motive and will do anything to stop the other Remnants. But the most hideous intention of all lies in a mind that the Remnants would have never before imagined. Remnants #6: Breakdown is a highly imaginative addition to the series, like the fifth book, and will leave the reader in shock for the seventh book, Isolation. It's fast-paced and exciting, once again restoring the Remnants series to the suspense it had from the first book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hints at things to come
Review: This isn't the best Remnants book, but it set up things that are certain to be more interesting. Mother starts messing around in Yago's head, which leads to all sorts of trouble. We learn more about Yago, Mother, and the Blue Meanies. Two more survivoring Remnants are recovered, Jessica "Noyze" Polk and Dr. Angelique Cohen. I hope they're developed more in the future. Another character who I will not reveal bites the big one (this series certainly has a high mortality rate). By the time the book ends, some things have ended and others have started. Book #7 should be VERY interesting....

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Remnants explores the great adventure... of tedium!
Review: When this series first came out, I was expecting that a group of people would be out in a great big universe, all on their own. Star Trek Voyager meets Animorphs! However, I can now see that this entire series is about a twisted spaceship's artificial intelligence, and three groups of people: Humans, Riders, and Blue Meanies, who want to get control of her. Every book explains more and more about the Computer, known as Mother, and the Riders and Meanies relation to her. Sure there are some suspeseful moments, but all of the characters all have some freakish quality, or attitude. Unlike the Animorphs, you frankly cannot care what happens to this strange group of losers who are constatly splitting up into different teams, and then regrouping when it suits them. What makes this series worst, however, is that so many things happen, you just don't understand what the heck is going on! Someone dies, except he's a projection, is then alive. Someone steps into a laser and then is as tall as Godzilla. Someone has all of their flesh stripped off. It just goes on, and on, and on, much like this review. In closing, I hope that they either get killed or leave the spaceship, otherwise this series will die from using old, and bad, materiel over and over again! It's a shame that a writer who brought us one of the most exciting, dramatic, funny, and immaginative sci-fi series of all time now seems content to write about a monotonous computer story. Like the title of book four, this series is in Nowhere Land. It's a very big shame.
