I finished reading this book in 18 hours. I liked it in the beginning. BUt then it got so weird. The dog and cat was OK but the Kungfu mouse is absurd.Some parts also sound childish. I liked though the concept of the not-waking-up thing (kept me up the whole time).But what I loved best about this is the whole time I was reading, I can imagine Katie,Andrew and Kevin as Hermione, Ron and Harry :)
Even though not stated as such I feel this would be more for young adults. But I was interested being a lover science fiction and fantasy, to give it a go.
I have a weakness for fantasy involving animals, as part of the story or the main characters and the ultimate is talking animals, so that's what intrigued me.
I enjoyed the story as it moved along at a good pace without getting bogged down with too much characterizations or boring filler. After awhile though I realized that there wasn't quite ENOUGH characterizations OR enough substance to the story to call it truly great.
In addition, the only point I thought was a real stretch, was regarding the Internet part of the story. I mean talking animals are one thing, an idea that has been a part of stories for eons, so it wasn't that bizarre, but the whole premise of the internet suddenly evolving into an actual personality was a little bit much.
Also sometimes the balance the book started off with, of the normal world meeting the fantasy world seemed to weigh heavily on just the fantasy aspect.
I mean (spoilers follow) it's revealed that Kain is the last dragon, and Nemu is Mother Nature. The white hawks are working for Nemu, and most all other wild animals are considered to be the bad guys.
I didn't like the latter, because most people who are animal lovers, have a great respect and love of wild animals. However that was somewhat redeemed at least regarding the zoo animals help.
The things that delighted me regarding the story were number one, I LOVED the secret, regarding the appearances of Genesis, Luna, and Terminus. I thought that was really interesting and creative on the part of the author.
I loved the Zoo animals especially led by a Lion who joined the teens. And finally, among the characters I loved the most were Helios, Genesis, Luna and Terminus. I particularly loved the ending, and a sequel would be great (I would definitely read) just because of the beloved characters mentioned.
So other then the few negative points I mentioned, most of the book was entertaining and enjoyable.
I thought the book was enjoyable... albeit there is room for improvement and I mean this in a professional way. I think that the book was a little fast-paced and what girl would want to break INTO school? That was meant more as a joke but overall it has a wonderfully colourful concept and I can't wait to read more books by you! :D Keep up the AMAZING work.
I liked the premise of the book. The characters and description were vivid and interesting. The storyline was confusing however. Please see the full review at: http://ebookit.wordpress.com/
