Now a lot of people have said this book is amazing; that it is the book of the century and everyone should love it unless the book comes to life and ruins everything you love. If that happens then you have a reasonable excuse to dislike it. But apart from that then you must love it, love it, love it. Everyone I know has said this, including my parents. But to be perfectly honest I don’t see what all the fuss is about.
Now don’t get me wrong OK, I liked the book. But it just isn’t as amazing as everyone was saying it was. It had some good positives and some annoying negatives (I will go over these in a minute). So while the book didn’t live up to what it was built up to, it did have its moments.
However. The
book did do a few things that I hated. The first is how stupid the people were
when it came to plans. I mean the settler plan. Come on. 20 odd villages and
not one mechanic that can fix a spaceship. Not ONE?! No way of contacting them
when the purpose of these people was to check it out and then CONTACT THEM!
That was a bit of a design flaw don’t you think?
Also the book did what How To Be Topp did: deliberately misspell words. I HATE that. SHAME ON YOU STORY! But apart from those rather large cons the book does alright on my scale. I will give the book 71/100 for excellent story writing and good execution of an idea.
This is the
last challenge review I am doing so when I next post something I hope to be £10
richer.

Look guys - it's the last review of the 50! It came as no surprise to us that Luke used his final Wild Card to avoid reading Little Women. That's the one I'd pegged from the start as the least likely to appeal to him. Instead, we chose the start of an award-winning trilogy of modern YA fiction.
I hope Luke is immensely proud of himself for finishing this challenge. We're all chuffed to bits!
