3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and entertaining but lacking depth, October 30, 2006

Having been inspired by Mr. Miller's "Singer Trilogy," I was surprised to not like this book more than I did. It did not engage my interest enough to make me desire to read the sequels. The story was entertaining and the writing is very good. It just seems to lack the underlying message appeal of the Singer trilogy. The characters and theme seem difficult to relate to and lack the depth I had come to expect from this author. Interesting and good but relative to the author's other books, not Mr. Miller's best.

Another reviewer said this is for adolescent boys and I agree. Since I loved it as a kid and am less enchanted with it now.

4.0 out of 5 stars Odd Plot, but Good for Young Boys, November 4, 2010

Sometimes I read books out loud to my wife as part of our "go to sleep" routine at night. This is a book I read when I was about 10, and I remember thinking it was very good. So I read it to her. It is not as good as I remember, as most of the plot revolves around whether people should eat meat or not. Also, the main character constantly speaks in "poems" which I found quite annoying.

However, I do recommend the book for adolescent boys. Also, there are three books in the series, and I seem to remember that the next two are better. I will probably read them out loud to my wife as well.
