Magenta Zephyr and the Universe Bender is an epic read introducing a 21st century heroine on her maiden galactic tour. There are plenty of characters, human and otherwise, along for the ride. I enjoyed the descriptive prose and the sci-fi setting and look forward to a lot more from this talented author and illustrator.

This review is from: Magenta Zephyr and the Universe Bender (Paperback)

The book is a must for the library of Sci-Fi enthusiasts. It was enjoyable to travel with Magenta Zephyr,her brother Michael, and their rock band, as they perform on an interplanetary journey. The descriptions of the characters and outer space venues makes the reader feel as though they are a part of the journey. Excitement and suspense is injected strategically as a group of rogue aliens attempt to steal Michael's invention -the universe bender. The book has an exciting ending that is written in such a manner that makes the reader suspect that a sequel will follow.

This review is from: Magenta Zephyr and the Universe Bender (Paperback)

Magenta Zephyr and the universe Bender is a unique and entertaining reading experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the humor, the colorful characters and the entertaining plot twists. It is a science fiction fantasy that has a very original premise written with some unconventional literary devices. I think Magenta could be the next big popular character in literary fiction, along the same lines as Harry Potter. I think anyone who likes adventure, suspense, science fiction, fanatsy or just a fun book to read will thoroughly enjoy Magenta Zephyr. I look forward to the planned sequels with much enthusiasm. I can't wait to see wht happens next in the Magenta Zephyr Universe. In some ways ir reminded me of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series of books, though I became much more attached to the characters and magenta in particular. Another interesting sideline is that this books links into the Wold Newton universe created by Philip Jose Farmer, and Magenta and some of the other characters are direct descendants of other famous literary characters, such as Doc Savage, Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan, and other famous heroes and villians.
