REVIEW :
I like Luke at the same time, this book feels odd.
It was mostly Luke's insecure thoughts on how he has to be careful and blend in or else he would get caught by the population police.
Well, I get that he is a kid that has been hiding for years in his home therefore, he's a little scared but sometimes, I feel that he is pathetic.
Everything was a little confusing and weird in the beginning of the book. So many insecurities.
Then in the middle of the book, the paced quicken. The action started which was something good.
By the end of the book, I like it because the little Luke Garner that is scared of his own shadow has grown up to become strong.
Eventhough, it is slightly obvious that Luke is the CHOSEN one but his character growth makes it so interesting. It makes you root for him. He's just an ordinary kid but also something more.
Overall, this one series I will keep reading. I want to see how far it goes and how it all turns out.
I rate it 6 out of 10.
