4.0�toiles sur 5 The Book For Sci-Fi Readers, F�v 17 2004

Par	duresh "sqeakster" - Voir tous mes commentaires

For all the sci-fi fans out there in search of a good book, I strongly recommend this book to all of you (if you are not a sci-fi fan I still recommend this book to u). This book has is just typically meant for sci-fi readers because this has all the requirements for it being a successful sci-fi book. The book is simply just an awesome book to read because the author, William Sleator is cool guy. He is very clever in making different sci-fi books. I mean he as actually created theories that make sense. Like in this book he has actually created a theory of some sort of abandoned shack or shed that speeds up time, when inside of it. The reason behind this "time warp" is because that shed lies on some sort of black hole.
Another aspect that Sleator Created are the feelings and personalities of the main characters of the book of this book is the feelings and personalities of the main characters in this book. The two main characters are twins, Harry and Barry. Their personalities are completely opposite. Barry is the strong, athletic, and bossy one while Harry is the smart, weak and sensitive one. Barry being the stronger always bosses and bullies Harry around. This makes you feel sympathetic towards Harry because of the way he feels about his brother. For example he is sick of being the weaker one or he wishes that he wants them to be more like brothers than rivals. BUT all of this changes when Harry decides to hide/stay in that mysterious shed over night. I recommend all readers especially sci-fi readers to read this book because throughout the book there are many twists and the ending is quite surprising. Also I recommend read other books done by Sleator because them too are just as good as this book

5.0�toiles sur 5 William sleator is a genious, Ao� 12 2003

Par	jake (Usa) - Voir tous mes commentaires

Well im am not so young as most other readers, i am 19. I have been a fan of william sleator since i was 14. once I was searching for a book, entitled the boy who reversed himself, which i tought had an interesting name. I found the whole william sleator series of books. This guy is a genious and his theory of 4th dimensional space and chaos theory are just brilliant. The way he writes it, into a childs novel is breathtaking. i can't get enough its crazy and it make me think, i hope he would visit my college one day.
sincerely Jake

A Review by Colton

Two identical twins Barry and Harry krasner, Harry is a rough kind of guy who is athletic and in the story he makes a suggestion to watch over there uncles empty farm. Harry who is very different he is gentle and sensitive he thinks, sure why not hoping that they would become close more like brothers instead of rivaling friends or enemies. The people who live near the farm house stay away because there is something scary and chilling about that old abandoned farm house. There is a shed that is locked on there property and they think all these creepy feelings are coming from there what they find in side is crazy and

I love the phrase on the front "it's not just a play house it is a portal into terror."
And it's not a play house it is a shed I hate that when people do dumb things like that.
And it was really interesting.

You should read this book and find out what is in that locked shed it will surprise you

4.0�toiles sur 5 A Little Slower, and a Little Nore Serious, Than His Others
This book is a bit slower and has a less quirky tone to it. It is still definitely Sleator through and through, but it is a bit more serious. Read more
