![]() ![]() If I went back in time, I would read it again. I feel as though this book screams single book, but they decided to go with a series instead. I would have been fine if they had known for certain by the end of the book, but they didn't. The whole I-Don't-Know-What's-Happining-But-I'm-Going-To-Find-Out plot line can be done well, but in this case, it left me feeling dissatisfied. My only complaint? The issue of who the bad guys were and why they were bad was a bit of a mystery with a different answer every page. I liked the characters and the book threw you straight into the story. The plot line was interesting, engaging, and all together relatively quick. While this was not as fantastic, I would think of it as slightly above the average book. I've always enjoyed DJ MacHale's other books in the past. THe ending of the book answered one huge question, only to give me a ton more. I can see Tucker and Tori warming up to each other though. I guess that's romance, but I assumed there would be a relationship forming or something more obvious. There was a total of 2 kisses in the book and a little winks and smiles. I was told there was romance in the book, and that was completely misleading. He was just the slight comic relief (view spoiler) Quinn's character didn't appeal to me much. But as the plot progresses, we (Tucker and the reader) begin to see some hints of a personality as Tori tells Tucker more about herself and as they stick together through the chaotic times. But that is how Tucker sees her because she doesn't open up. All we know is that Tori is reserved, serious, blunt, and at times, emotionless. But I guess that is done on purpose for stylistic reasons. Tori's character wasn't as, how do I put it. To someone determined who questions everything and (view spoiler) and (view spoiler) Buuuut I guess that's what happens then you (view spoiler) ![]() He went from Average joe who doesn't ask questions. There was a drastic change in Tucker as the story progressed. And even then, how can you confuse a Duffy and a Beal? But one thing that bothered me: How can Tucker know if it was a Beal or a Duffy? He isn't the boat person. What kind of boat? A Beal boat with a diesel engine. And even though there wasn't too much creative writing, Machale compensated that by describing a scene with specifics. And with those questions, I was dying to find out. MacHale posed all those questions in a way that didn't make it overwhelming or frustrating. But after that, it did have some trouble keeping my interest, until SYLO arrived.Ī bunch of questions were being brought up, and D.J. "IT was the perfect night for a football game. THe book didn't start out slow, but I guess it was because of that great hook phrase in the beginning. A bit of a cliche, the average guy turns out to be not so average. So Tucker seems like just the average guy. But everybody must know, that the description doesn't do the book justice. The Book description just didn't get my attention. So I've been seeing SYLO in my recommendations for a loooooong time. ![]()
