It was a wonderful page turner. Believable characters, futuristic and suspense will keep you reading to the end.
Highly recommend for adults and young readers alike. Look forward to reading more in the series
I really enjoyed these two books. They really are two parts to the same story, so I’ve rated them the same. It’s fast-paced, but it is meant for younger readers, so it is more simple than his adult books, but he still throws a couple of twists into the story, as well.
Jeff and Chipper are definitely an interesting duo, you never know what to expect from a 12 year old boy and
What happens when you team up a loyal and intelligent dog, with a headstrong and impulsive boy? It becomes quite the adventure from start to finish.
There really isn't too much character development, mostly just of Jeff and Chipper on the run and The Institute coming after them. There were some interesting and not so unexpected twists. Overall a decent and quick read.
