20 years after it releases I can finally say I've finished reading the Strange Matter book series and with the final book no less.
I imagine this book had a low print run as it was more expensive than some others I was missing.
I know these are geared for kids and trust, I appreciate that. However, this is so poorly written that I just felt bad. Words are missing in sentences, a is used instead of an at times. Oh, they also named one character Kelly and another has the last name Kelly. How freaking lazy is that?
I'm bummed we never got the next book since weirdly enough a chapter is at the end of this one and it involves my favorite character from the spinoff series.
As for this book? It's a weak end to a trilogy I never liked. I always felt the alien plots like this were the weakest of the series as a whole.
