As Kidd grows up being discriminated and bullied, only a beautiful girl with flaming hair stands by him. At age 12, tricked into activating an ancient machine entity, Kidd gains god-like power — he can manipulate the collective consciousness and lead the human race to quantum evolution. But this superpower comes with a terrible price: the apocalypse program.
While on the mission to save humanity and the girl he loves, Kidd realizes that he must exorcise the power in him, but to his horror, it has become his genetic code.
This fast-paced, action-packed, science fiction/fantasy novel rockets the reader through Kidd and Emma's world and into a future where not even Kidd's own DNA is safe.
The Fourth Eye by Meg XMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Trying to collect thoughts. Written over a few days. SO if it makes no sense don’t be coming to my house in the middle of the nights with pitchforks and torches. I’m serious ;) Also, if there is anything wrong with it. Tell me! Don’t forever hold your peace!
Day 1: Finished the book around 15 minutes ago. I have just been sitting here at my laptop collecting my thoughts. My thoughts: this was such a good book and even though I do not normally read this sort of book. I still really enjoyed it. I liked the characters; I liked how the characters changed over time. I really liked the concept and the writing. Scratch that.
I loved the writing. I thought the book was beautifully written. You can read the first page and you’ll know what I mean by the writing being beautifully written. It is the sort of writing that captures you from the first page and keeps you reading. And the way it was told, all the different points of views. I thought the author did it really well, you see some authors really can’t pull off having more than one main voice as the narrator, but this author did it really well. I enjoyed reading from all the different character’s perspective, especially Aileen’s (as a young child), I thought it was amazingly written, being inside her head as a child. WOW. Just wow.
Day 2: Ahh, the plot. The main concept behind this book was a really smart one. I haven’t read a book like this before and surprisingly (this isn’t my usual genre) liked it. So how can I talk about what the book is about without giving too much away? Right! I will be vague! Like a prophet!
Sita: Gosh Sita, you can stop with the exclamation marks already.
Me (A.K.A. Sita): Fine, lemme just get it out of my system. !!!!!!!!!!! Right, it’s gone!!
Sita: Really?
Me (A.K.A. Sita): Really, really?
Sita: Really? Really? Really?
Me (A.K.A. Sita): Really? Really?...
Angry Sita: ...Oh would you shut up already and get back to the review!
Back to the review... (exclamation mark)
My vague prophetness...
This is a tale...
Of two young children...
In a hidden civilisation...
Told in third person direct...
It has many twists and turns...
Kidd is an awesome person with wicked powers...
Aileen is...
Aileen...
Fang is an awesome, caring, loving father...
Bottom line...read the book...
Bottom, bottom line: What I thought of the plot/concept: Very interesting, new idea and it was a real page-turner. I could not put it down at times. My vagueness sounds weird, but don’t let that put you off the book. It’s really good and for the plot itself I give it...4.9999 stars. I have no idea why it wasn’t five. Probably cause I was pissed off at some of the stuff that happened but Kidd definitely made up for it. He was Kidd. And what happened to him when he was younger! I feel terrible for him. But that’s what makes him such a great hero. What happened to him was real and he overcame it.
Day 3: I liked all the characters. Scratch that. I liked some of the characters, I actually disliked a few of them (Aileen’s half brother, what’s his face can go and... Yeah you get the point). But I was really rooting for Kidd and what he was doing although my opinions on most of the other characters changed a fair bit. What I thought of Kidd never did, he was always the boy that jumped into the waterfall to save a girls life. He made a strong male lead and main character. I really liked reading about him and the journey he ended up going on. I really enjoyed being in his head. And overall, he has to be my favourite character.
Day 4: I recommend this book to everyone. I’m serious, this was a really good book and even of this isn’t the sort of book that you would usually read it’s still worth checking out. Because this book is a fun, enjoyable read. That I’m pretty sure most people would really like. I know I did and this really isn’t the sort of book that I normally read ;)
Overall, it’s a good book. And it is easily going onto my favourites shelf. What can I say? I really, really enjoyed this one.
