What were your initial thoughts on the book?
When I first looked at
the book I didn’t really have any idea about whether or not I would like it. I had
read a set of books similar to it and so I thought that if they were similar
maybe I would enjoy them just as much. Once I read the blurb, I knew immediately
that I needed to read the book, because from reading that short paragraph I already had too
many questions to leave them unanswered so I decided it was time to dive into it. When I
had a quick glance at it I also saw that there weren’t any pictures and I
really liked that because I like having my own idea about what the characters
and places looked like, I really wanted to read it and although I didn’t know
if I would like it I knew I had to give it a try.
Who was your favourite character and why?
My favourite character
was Ruby because of how kind she was and how cared about everyone she met and
didn’t want to put anyone in danger. I loved how when she didn’t even know who
the little girl she was following was, she didn’t was to be the reason she got
caught and taken by the people chasing them. I also liked the fact that she
didn’t want Liam, Chubs and Zu to find out about her true abilities because she
didn’t want to lose them or to have them send her away. I liked this about her
because it showed me that although Ruby was different, she was still like every
other teenager, worried about showing people who they really were in case they
were judged, this was a good addition to the story because it gives people
something to relate to. I also really like the character Zu because she pulled
Ruby into the van not worrying about the consequences, instead of seeing Ruby
as a danger, she saw a scared girl with nowhere to go. Although she didn’t
speak in the book, I feel that she was an important character and that without
her it wouldn’t have been the same.
What was your favourite part of the book and
why?
My favourite part was
when Ruby finally showed her true abilities to Liam, Chubs and Zu. I didn’t
necessarily like when she used her abilities but the part that I liked was
afterwards when Ruby thought that they were going to tell her to leave because
of what she really was. I loved this part because Ruby learned that her friends
didn’t care what she was because liked for who she was and her personality and that
it didn’t matter to them what colour she was, Green or Orange. I also liked
this part because they were finally on their way to East River and I also found
out what had happened to her parents so it answered one of the questions I kept
asking myself.
What was your overall impression of the book?
As a whole, I really loved
the book but there are some parts that I thought could have had more action or
mystery. One thing that really annoyed me was that in the book we weren’t told
how the disease started or what caused it. I understand that the book is a part
of a series but I still would have liked to find that out. I found that some
parts were boring and slow-moving, for example in the warehouse Ruby could have
taken a shorter amount of time to figure out the clue and it could have been
more interesting. Although some parts were boring and unnecessary, I also found
some exciting and although cliff-hangers tend to frustrate me, I found this one
really exciting and as soon as I finished the book I knew I wanted to read the
second one.
Would you recommend this book?
If you like science
fiction, action and adventure then you should definitely read this book, I
would recommend it for children over 12 and even if you don’t like books like
this or have never tried them then you should still try this book because I am
sure that you enjoy it just as much as I have.
Summarise the book in one sentence.
(Verdict)
A thrilling sci-fi
adventure with love, friendship and enemies around every bend.
