5.0 out of 5 stars
This book is simply great.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Photon: High Stakes (Adventure Novel 2) (Paperback)
Okay. I first bought this book for a quarter at a thrift store. I had found that day at least twenty other books, and I can't remember why I got High Stakes. Embarrassingly enough, I read the book at the age of 14. I realize that it is a children's book, but I was bored. It was, is, great. I love it. I have read the book so many times that it is literally falling apart. I'm serious. It is no longer bound. The thing is over one hundred individual pages. The thing is I am 18 now. During finals week at college, I stumbled onto the book in my closet. I was so frazzed out and needed some mind candy, so I reread it. It is still great. I think it might be one of the greatest children's books ever. I want the other five books badly, but cannot find them. I consider it a tragedy. Anyone with children, or an active inner child, should move heaven and earth to get this book. It is well-written, and never underestimates the intelligence of the reader, unlike many children's books.

This Book Is Great!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Photon: High Stakes (Adventure Novel 2) (Paperback)
I remember when I was real little. Two of my friends and my brother got this one book called "Photon: High Stakes" from a book giveaway at school. My brother read it emediatly and never said a word about it. My two friends never got around to reading it ever. A couple of years later, My mom started to read the book to us, I was little so I thought it was boring and stopped listening...she stopped reading it too. Anyways, in 5th grade, I picked the book up from my brothers room and began to read it. I absolutely LOVED it! It was one of the best books I had ever read. After I finished it, I found out that there were more of them. I was so excited to get them, but I couldn't find them anywhere. The publisher had stopped printing them! I went crazy. I told my friend about it and he decided to pull the old book out from the library and read it. He loved it too. He said he thought he saw the first book down at the town library, so I went. there it was, the first one! . I read it but found it wasn't as good as the first. "Oh well," I thought. Ever since then, I have made it my "quest" to find the rest of those books and to find out where I can get the cartoon. I STRONGLY suggest this book to anyone who likes Sci-Fi.

READ THIS BOOK BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Photon: High Stakes (Adventure Novel 2) (Paperback)
When I was about 9, I noticed this book my brother and sister kept reading. It had this awful cover of this dumb wimp in a life-vest fighting some monster. However, some years later, I was so bored that I picked up any book and lo and behold, it was that book. I opened it anyway. The first line was typical. "A Hush fell on the crowd." I thought that this guy doesn't even know his grammar. Then, at the next line, "It wasn't a particularly large Hush (or something like that, hard to remember). That was when I realized this was a special book. (look, I was bored, ok?) I read about the laser game and how it's really a test for beings (aliens and humans alike). It contains everything: romance, adventure and best of all humour. The characters are all really different and you just wish that you could be one of them. After reading that book a gazillion times, I wanted to find the rest in the series. I decided that I should write to the publisher but I (get ready for this) LOST THE BOOK!!! So now, here I am, just lost, trying to remember that disgusting (yes, I do still think it's disgusting) cover of that really cool sci-fi book. One more point. I hate science fiction. Go figure
