5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Them (Remnants, 3) (Paperback)
To me, it deserves 5 stars, but to some other readers it may be just horribly horrible. The plot is extremely confusing and the reader may just stop wanting to read the book once they're into the first chapter. However, to those who find it interesting, they may want to keep reading because of all the unexpectble things that always seem to happen to the people who are the last members of the human race. All I want to know is what will become of those people, and how Applegate will conclude the series.

What lies in the Tower?,
By Shambo-bunny (seattle , WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Them (Remnants, 3) (Paperback)
Babel,the Tower of Babel.That's what the 2 groups of Remnant's see on the Horizon. Yago and Wylson think it would make a perfect battle station,to conqeur the Riders and the Blue Meanies,and eventually conqeur whatever put them in the ship,maybe even conquer Mother... While Jobs,2FAce,Mo'steel,and the rest of their small group are just trying to stay alive... Yago's group learns about Tamara and her Baby's power to eliminate the Blue MAenies and the Riders.She agrees to help again under one condition,Her Baby is getting hungry and it wants meat,human meat...... In Jobs group,they have stumvled into a living paitning,it's called "Last Judgement",it's one man's version of hell.they also have been comunicating to a Blue Meanie through Billy who is still unconcious... I can't recomend this series enough!it maybe confusing and at times scary but there is just the right amount of scariness,and drama,and comedy,and much more! Although the part of this book with "the LAst Judgement",was terribly frightening,I still recomend this book! I also recomend the author's other series Animorphs,and Everworld... Hope this Helped you!

500 years from home...,
This review is from: Them (Remnants, 3) (Paperback)
500 years from home the remnants of the Mayflower project find themselves on a strange spaceship that seems to be centered around a structure which seems to resemble "The Tower of Babel". The group of survivors have now split into two. Jobs, Mo'Steel, Violet Blake, Olga, and the wierd Billy Weir are on one team while Yago, Tamara, her weird alien of a baby, 2face, and the rest of the crew are on the other team. This planet of a spaceship is not what it seems. Riders are consistanly on the prowl for the survivors. Jobs and Mo'Steel's team meet a Blue Meanie who from the interpretation of Billy Weir explain to them about Mother. Mother he says is very confused and sad and needs to be shut down for awhile. However can they shut mother down in time before the other demons convulge on them?This book was definitely what you call strange. However it explains a lot about the first 2 books. There is also a lot of character development and description. However some parts of this book was sketchy and other parts were just plain strange. However besides that this was a great book!

Remnants #3,
By Zack Potter "Zack Potter" (Napa, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Them (Remnants, 3) (Paperback)
Well I really enjoyed the book! I especially liked the plot line. It was really liked the part when they were exploring the new land. I thought that was just great. The way that they looked around, and almost got killed was really funny. But I thought that it was a little odd the way the author wrote about the simplicity of the Adventure. They were exploring like the native Americans did, and the settlers along with that. I didn't think that she used her imagination. Other than that I thought that the book was great. Some people died, and it w2as magnificent! I gave this book the good star rating because it was a riveting part of the ongoing saga of the Mayflower Project! A wonderful addition to the already amazing series of books!

Remanents Reiveiw,
By Tigers#1 (Versailles, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Them (Remnants, 3) (Paperback)
This book is the third book in this three book series. The book starts on an alien spaceship that has abducted the Mayflower project ship and has created an artificial environment of what it knows about the humans. Yoga the leader of what is left of the humans leads the remaining humans to this tower where they encounter riders (aliens trying to kill them) and demons and other terrors. But also at the tower they encounter an alien friend a Blue Meanie who helps them try to destroy the Node (the brain that's creating the demons that are trying to kill them) to end this nightmare of a world.
Some of my likes of this book are that its kind creepy in some parts of this book which I kind of like. Also there is some suspense so that you just want to keep reading and not stop. Some dislikes are that the riders use these stupid hover boards to glide around on. Also some of my other dislikes are that there is this baby that Tamera caries that has some super powers which I thought was stupid. I would recommend this book to someone who kind of likes the creepy kind of book with suspense in it and who kind of likes a weird twist in there books.

The thrilling third book in the Remnants series.,
This review is from: Them (Remnants, 3) (Paperback)
On a strange and mysterious world light years from home, the refugees of a destroyed Earth need to work together to survive, but instead find themselves divided by fear and hostility. They started out as the Eighty, put into hibernation on a shuttle fired blindly into space just before the end of the world in 2011. But a five hundred year voyage through space has cut their numbers by more than half, and some of those that survived have been changed by the journey in frightening ways. Jobs, Mo'Steel, his mother Olga, Violet Blake, and Billy Weir have been cast out of the main group of survivors. They have discovered that the world they landed on is in fact an artificial environment created on board an alien ship, an environment populated by some of the most sadistic creatures every imagined by a human being. They must also content with viscous aliens. Have they survived Earth's destruction only to perish in this hostile world? I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoyed the first two books in the Remnants series.

While I'm not sure about the age-level of these books, they are exciting. K.A. Applegate's imagination is in full bloom with this series. Having read the Annimorph series, I find this series much more evolved emotionally. Not only is there life and death violence, but the characters are having to make decisions on the level of the Donner Party. It really gives kids something to think about.
The story continues at a breakneck pace with the odd characters showing more of themselves as they reveal how they have been affected by the 500 year sleep they have endured in the original ship. Since being picked up by the giant Mother Ship, the crew has divided into 2 different groups, which is a wonderful study of our humanity. One group is led by what is worse in our species, while the other group consists of the characters who represent what is best about us. One group is comprised of all those who serve themselves, while the other group makes up those who think about the group as a whole, not just themselves, and of course there are one or two of the survivors who go back and forth between the two groups. If these books were read in a classroom, the philosophical discussion could be amazing. Just like the ancient Greek plays, we humans are put on display in all our glory and disgrace. I know this is just a young adult novel, but I'd put it next to Lord of the Flies for a thought-provoking work of art. And kids are much more likely to read this book than that particular novel. Great job as usual, Applegate. |
