Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Bug's Trip to the Store in Books

Apr 27, 2018

The Bug Children series sounded really cute, but I was dismayed when I read them. The stories are written in verse, but the verse isn't very creative and doesn't flow very well. There isn't much story to the books, and a younger child would lose attention before the halfway mark. The illustrations are nothing special, and look blocky and stretched in strange ways. Lastly, Bug didn't look like either a bug or a VW bug. He looked like a squashed banana.

Sorry to say I can't really envision many children enjoying these books.

What a creative story, magic and candy making! This book is a dystopian type set in modern day. There are the people called sixth sensors that have special gifts that the king has captured or destroyed. Aini works in her father's candy shop. Her father is taken and Aini sets out to save him. Myles, Thane, and Neve are Aini's friends and they go with her to help her find her Dad. This book is a page turner! Highly recommended! I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

This was a well written and created book but it was a little hard to read. The whole concept was amazing as were the characters. What made it hard was that it would jump through time and it wasn't exactly clear when that occured. The story covers three distinct times in the main characters life which is fine just often it would be one paragraph in one time then the next in another with no bridge. Perhaps, it was just me but this disrupted the flow of an otherwise very creative novel.

I think I would've liked this book more if the format of it would've adhered to a more conventional style of writing. In saying that, I mean quotation marks for dialogue would've been great. In the author's defense, there were some peppered throughout the story -- some.

The story was fine. I have no complaints. The bouts of activism depicted therein were apropos for our time. The book is worth reading in the sense it's a classic and shouldn't be overlooked as it does have imaginative and creative merit.

Epic ExtraOrdinary Story

I was so in love with the writing, world building, character development. I thought the plot was super creative and very refreshing to read. I love superheroes and the people who write about them or things related to them seem to have to most amazing skills to bring that world to light and this book was no exception I would highly recommend it for anyone who loves those kind of stories. Also, revenge is a side plot and well I always kind of love revenge stories.

I LOVE these guys!

I absolutely love GMM and the guys behind it. Rhett and link are hilarious, have an incredible team full of creative ideas, and their videos honestly are one of the highlights of my days. My favorites are the will it? And taste test episodes. They are always trying something new and putting smiles on my face. Their friendship is so real and they can be so relatable I truly wish I knew them. If you want a good laugh, I recommend this show 100%.
