Negative Positive
Title: One and Done
Review: This is an imaginative, well-written, and very creative effort, that does not in any way require a sequel. By that I mean that Gregor's adventure in Underland is exciting and rewarding, but the conclusion is satisfying and I feel no need to return to Underland.That makes this a great book for experimenting. If your reader doesn't particularly care for the book, or is satisfied with just one installment, fine. If he or she really gets into Underland, there are more volumes that continue the thread. It's sort of a win/win.It's especially nice that this book is aimed at a younger audience than a lot of the current fantasy/adventure books, (like Collins' own Hunger Games series, or the Maze Runner series). There is adventure, and danger, and derring-do, but not a lot of explicit violence, or an overly complicated plot. The writing style also suits a younger demo. So, this is also a good experimental choice for a kid who wanted to try a fantasy/adventure book.
