Details
The story is written in two ways. Bobby tells his story through journals that he sends to his friend Mark. Bobby’s personality is largely written in through his story, he explains events, people, places, as he sees them. This allows for a easily comprehendable story that engages you, and makes you feel a bond with Bobby. The other way in which the story is relayed (which is also integrated into the story) is through a third person point of view of earth. Bobby is off fighting a battle in a different world, but we still get to view Mark’s story as he lives life normally while he waits for Bobby’s next journals.
Praises
This story is incredibly fun to read, easily read yet fully functional. The characters have a depth that engages the reader to never put the book down. Bobby is easy to relate to as he is a normal kid. The character of Bobby is also incredibly dynamic, changing and developing through the entire story. This story is a great introduction to “Halla.”
Critiques
The story is good and is also written for younger teens. The more mature themes are not present until further into the series.
