Picked this up for my son to read, but he wasn't interested. Cabin Fever plus Sci Fi = interesting relationships and situations. Basically enjoyable.

From the start the story really hooked me in and I couldn't stop reading! It follows the stories of two kids who are trapped in very different situations after an Alien invasion, although the things that happen to them mirror each other.

Alien invasion told from two perspeectives. Fast-moving and initally engrossing but the narrative grows a bit tiresome and ends with a fizzle.

Pod was actually an interesting story about Alien invasion and the battle to survive.Josh is a boy who, quite frankly, thinks his father is nuts when they are trapped in the house by PODS. He's kind of whiny and questions everything his father does. Even when all his father did was try to make sur...
