This book was amazing! It was a book I personally enjoyed. This is a book I would recommend teachers to use for reading or English class! This is a great YA book!
Hated it! Hey let's follow the pervy murderer and when it comes time to side with my loving brother, I'll use him and kill him and act like I'm the victim. Horrible. I don't know if it was time this book was written but it was stilted, especially the ending scene. Did I mention I hated it?
With this prequel to 'The Tripods Trilogy' written twenty years later, John Christopher tries to rectify some of the issues apparent in the post-conquest world he'd created.First of all, we have a girl on the cover, which is a good start.

I could cut a long review short: 'The Tripod Trilogy' is a terrific sf series for the young ones, the darkest revelation of a post-tripod-conquest world is, obviously, that women don't matter at all.

The aliens came from light years away can they not spring for some aircrafts or something on wheels? At l...
Review to come... I can't advice to anyone. Sorry. Other Christopher novels I read are a thousand times better than this one... one week of my life to read 159 pages. That's how hard it was to me... painful but I finish... Second edit:What can I say about this book? It's worthless in my opinion. I r...
I remember reading this book eons ago for a science-fiction unit in fifth grade. I remember we created a class mural dealing with a science fiction city and we also had to write a short science fiction story. It was a fun unit, and I remember liking this book well enough. I don't know if I would rea...
