I've been delving into the fascinating world of sketchnoting, and have been practicing my skills (and trust me, you should see the very first one I created....practice does help!) I've seen professor Karin Perry from Sam Houston State University do book reviews via sketchnotes and decided to try it out.
What is NOT in the sketchnote is my personal review. So this is what I think of this book:
WOWOWOW!!! This is 599 pages of intense plot, conflict, and survival all set in a science fiction thrillfest based on documents, journals, e-mails, imessages, and high security reports... and even concrete poetry. The format itself is enough to draw the reader in and it reads fast because of this. The characters are an excellent mix of adults and teens, which makes this science fiction novel so believable. Adding diagrams of the ships adds a deeper dimension for the readers as well as their mode of travel through wormholes. This is a deep space chase that will grab you to turn the next page to see what happens. Huge twist at the end - VERY unexpected! One of the top 10 best books I've read this year!
Highly recommended for JH/HS.
