5.0 out of 5 stars One Awsome Series, November 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Flash Forward (Mindwarp) (Paperback)

This is the only Mindwarp book that I have read so far and I think it's awsome. I'm a huge fan of a series called Animorphs by K.A. Applegate, but I think I'm gunna like this series even better. From this book I can tell that the Alpha children find out alot about themselves, that this has nothing to do with aliens and they find out how they got the powers. A boy Ethan finds his father (who his powers came from geneticaly). From this book it seems like I'm gunna be the biggest fan of this series and I'd recomend this book to any other anifan out there. I would be glad to chat with anyone about these titles.

5.0 out of 5 stars I agree; The best mindwarp book!, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Flash Forward (Mindwarp) (Paperback)

This book was great! Even better than # 6, my was-been favorite. The only thing about this book is it's a to be continued. I hate that. In this book, a lot of info is given. The shape-shifting aliens are called "Omegas." A new species is also involved. They are called "Sweepers." And you know the mindwarp kids who I refer to as "the alien kids?" Well, they also have a name. The Alpha children. Even though I don't mind, I think it was a little unfair that once again, girls are the unimportant part of a series. The girls only had 11 chapters, while the boys had 13. (Boys rule!) Wouldn't you know that we have the unlucky number. . . Toni runs into Elena and Todd while trying to find Ethan. Ethan had been chased after by a Sweeper and escaped, only to be caught by a Topsider. Oh yes! There are no such things as aliens. The Alpha children and their parents were a government project that went right. Too right! The government didn't want them, so they created the Omegas. The Omegas turned against them. Then there was a nuclear war in the year 2094. Everything went wrong. The humans on the surface turned into freaks called Topsiders. Those that stayed underground remained mostly normal. I can't believe Todd and Elena are alive. I wonder what Todd's power is. . . . Elena had a vision, though. She said the others would come back to rescue her and Todd. Ethan meets his father, but that part was sort of sad. He died at the end of the book, while rescuing the kids. There were two new people in this book who were friends: Whistler and Jinx. I don't know what happened to Whistler, but Jinx is in the end of the book and she's going to help them go back to the present time. And as a bonus, the book gave subtle hints that Ashley likes Ethan. I just have 3 questions: When they're in their tube, do Todd and Elena communicate in thought-speech? Why are they worried about the fact that Ethan's dad is dead and the Earth is doomed when that is only a possible future? How come Ethan's dad is said to be about 40 years old while in the future when in the "past" he's also supposed to be old. Shouldn't he have been dead by then? If anyone knows the answers to some of my questions, e-mail me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flash Forward: Time Travel Goes Haywire, July 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Flash Forward (Mindwarp) (Paperback)

This book was great, the best out of all the Mindwarp books so far. Unlike the six books before it, this book didn't focus on just one Mindwarp teenager, it was narrated by all the remaining kids: Ashley, Ethan, Jack, and Toni. Some new players were introduced, and the suspense was killer. It was a great book, but unlike a couple people who have reviewed the Mindwarp books, I'm NOT going to ruin the ending for you. I hate it when people do that, and it would be way more of an adventure to find out for yourself. Chris Archer, if you're reading this, I am a HUGE fan, but I'm not going to stalk you or anything.
