My Review:
Mathew seems older than he is. Although I was confused by the first few chapters of the book, I found the story interesting and couldn't wait to see what happened next. I love books about the future, especially ones with well thought out worlds and even though this book seemed like one big conspiracy theory, I enjoyed it a lot. I kept saying, okay just one more chapter. Robots are everywhere. It's the year 2055, and there's a war gong on. This was such a good read. I wasn't sure hat I was getting myself into but I'm glad I picked it to read next. It's so exciting and keeps me guessing. I really did not want to put it down. Not only did I like the world it was set in, I really liked reading about the kind of tech they have. It seemed plausible and really helped make me feel like I was reading about something in the future. It's an easy read and I didn't feel too old to be reading it while I worked my way through it. I definitely will check out the next book in the series and recommend you check this book out if you haven't already! Thanks for reading.
