Free Radical

Summary: My Review
Review: Free Radicals is a fairly descent book, but it's not one of the best books I've every read. I give this book a 4 because there were some things that I really just didn't like about the book, but don't get me wrong this is a well developed story. I didn't like how Luke was all about himself. Like when Luke's mom told him the truth, he didn't want to hear, and didn't care about how his mom felt, he only cared about how he felt, what he was going to do, what he was going to face. That just really annoyed me. Another thing is that if your a person who is always guessing what is going to happen, like me, what you think is going to happen, always happens. Also, the story is built up really good and you wait for something really big to happen, but nothing does, it just ends. This book does have its pluses. The characters are well developed and you know them. Also a person could really relate to it. That's how I feel about this book, so go ahead and read it. It's worth reading.

Summary: Very Suspenseful
Review: Last night, I started to read this book as I was going to bed. I read the first 20 pages or-so. Today, I finished off the book. It is very suspenseful & you may just read it as fast as I did.

I will say that this is a very interesting book & it is well worth your time. There is just two problems with it:
-The last 20-30 pages, you're waiting for something for something suspenseful to happen. But nothing does. That's the reason I gave it four stars. Something huge or radical (nyuk, nyuk) was going to come in my mind.
-Luke McHenry, who is the character in first person, is a huge Giants fan. Sorry, bub, but the Angels rock. Can't avoid Halo Magic.

Otherwise this is a great book. The characters are well developed & the author puts an interesting twist on the book by placing most of the story in Alaska. It shows that they DON'T live in igloos. They're all just regular dudes up there. A very realistic story. Recommended for people who liked "Zach's Lie" or suspenseful, crime-filled books.
