3004 is an exciting book. Its excitement is not based on fast-paced action, though the story has a steady stream of action. The source of the excitement and entertainment has to do with the way the different personalities of the two main characters coupled with the author's ability to immerse readers in a dsytopian 3004 holds your attention from start to finish. Despite my initial alarm, I thought the ending was especially brilliant. Read my full review at http://www.bookreviewsbykathy.com/boo...
This was my book for Oct and I've finished it already! I was totally into the story by page 10, and stayed up late finishing it. I loved to characters, and how they deal with the world they find themselves in. This is a great read,and I'll watch out for more by this author. Hooked all the way to the end!
This was a awesome story very intriguing and full of details and imagery in the words. I would've given it five stars if I'd known it had a sequel I'd not bother reading it, I hate sequels and series ughh!!
This book captured my imagination and I was a 16-year-old boy once again. The overall theme of this was a coming-of-age novel set in the far future. I look forward to the sequel, 3006.
