I just finished Part 2 of The 13th Reality.The pace of the book has really picked up. The clues that Tick get are getting hard and even more dangerous. The latter half of part 2 introduces the plot’s main villainess and one of her henchmen. I won’t go into detail, so as not to spoil all the fun, but I really like the spy vs. spy action that ensues.
Complaint: Tick enlists his father into his the tornado of the clues. What I expected was that Tick’s father would ground him and Tick would have to decide to go against his parents to save the world, like all good heroes. What happens instead is that Tick’s father is gun-ho; then, the two of them rush off to investigate the first letter mailed from Alaska. What!?
Anyway, the book is still fun. However, I’m thinking that it might be more intermediate reader fiction rather than YA. The back of the book says 10 and up.
The book is broken in to 4 parts. So, look for more fun in the coming weeks. Until then, please why not join in the fun over at The Dashner Dude, James Dasher's blog or http://www.the13threality.com/.
