Reviews
Many middle-school and higher readers/listeners will probably enjoy this story. There are fights and running and chasing and more fights. But for a listener looking for actual content, say a plot, it is a vain search indeed. Clearly part of a series, the author leaves so many strings hanging it feels like an unwoven macrame. Most of the action is structurally pointless. It is little more that an undeveloped comic book with many fight scenes. The narrator, Evan Rachel Wood, does seem to capture the main character's 1st-person narration fairly well, though at times it felt a little too cavelier. And Patterson's frequent pop cultural allusions seem next to impossible considering these kids were raised in cages in a lab as of only 4 years ago. Perhaps three stars is generous, but I'm giving it for those people that don't mind all the action with no sense and little plot.
