1.0 out of 5 stars Little to recommend it, Jun 23 2003

By

a secondary teacher (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Abduction (Mass Market Paperback)

Trash literature for young adults, most appropriate for middle school kids. While this book may appeal to "reluctant readers" because of its fast-paced action, it has little to recommend it. The two main characters are fairly uninteresting. There are very clear-cut good guys and bad guys, with no shadings of gray. That will make it appealing to some young readers, but the characters seem flat. Lots of sexual innuendo and undertones...the young virginal girl is in danger of being molested by the sicko leader of the aliens. Philbrook has written some other books with good character development and interesting themes, but this book doesn't measure up.

This review is from: Abduction (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is so awesome, words cannot describe this. I read it when I was in sixth grade and it was so intresting. I read it every study hall at the end of the day for 5 months! I could not put it down! Here is basically what it is about:

A loser named Quentin starts a Skin-Head gang where they are all goth and have to get certain tatooes and piercings. Soon Matt, Luke's younger brother becomes adapted and a member of the Skin-Head gang. Soon after that, Quentin, an unknown alien/extratrestrial gets mind control of Luke and Mandy, and they always disappear betweeen 10 pm and 2 am. But when they come back, they do not remember a thing. They soon talk it over and things start adding up. Quentin spyes on them in a library and everything goes wacky...trust me it is not a playful alien book...it is realistic, and probably for ages 14+...i mean it it is so awesome...get it now. Cheers to Rodman Philbrick!
