Summary: LOUSY!!!
Review: "Mother May I?" went at a slow pace compared the previous Remnants books. Billy has seized control of mother, to an extent, and the aliens and humans have reached a compromise. But, once again, its the stupid earthlings that ruin the compromise. Surprise! Surprise! War comes up again. I think that K.A. Applegate has done a very good job of proving a point: we humans are a bunch of selfish, power hungry jerks. Yago and 2Face are at it again. And their quarrels now involve more than just the other humans. Basically, read it if you must. I think I'll get number 9 at the local library when it comes out.

Summary: Far from K.A.'s best work
Review: 500 years after they left Earth, the remaining Remnants(numbers still dwindling), have finally seemed to settle down after the "Big Compromise". However, everyone knows it is no "real" life, for everything is computer-generated by Billy. So, when Jobs finds a mysterious object that looks very much like the remnants of what "Earth" used to be, will the Remnants be able to convince Billy to break the Big Compromise and turn the ship around? And what about all the other troubles brewing that everyone still doesn't know about? Such as Yago, and his secret plottings with the Blue Meanies? What about Amelia, a new Remnant they discover, whose mutation is beyond weird...and the questions she raises about what Billy truly is? What about the other missing remnants that Amelia hints at? To me Remnants has been a disappointment(except book #2) to me. We keep hearing the same old stories. I'm tired of the battles between the Remnants, Blue Meanies, Rider, etc...How many useless pages do we waste on that? The bickering between 2Face and Yago has just gotten old. Even Jobs and Mo'Steel seemed to have lost their magic. I just hope K.A. gets the series back on track soon, or it'll be another series of disappointing reviews.

Summary: Slow but well written!
Review: I enjoyed reading Remnants #8 Mother, May I?. The Remnants have finally settled into a part of the Ship, Mother, called the Zone. Billy has become the programmer, controlling the whole ship. One day, Jobs finds a place resembling Earth in the sky, but if Billy takes the Ship to Earth, it will break the Big Compromise. Billy sends Jobs and some of the other Remnants down into Mother's "basement" to investigate the part of Mother that Billy can't access. Back in the Zone, Blue Meanies are demanding to see Yago, so thet can receive the "touch." Who or what will Jobs and others find in the "basement"? Why are the Blue Meanies demanding to see Yago? Will Billy break the Big Compromise, and take the Ship to Earth? Find out by reading Remnants #8 Mother, May I?.
