The Kill Order by James Dashner is a very good science fiction book. It is mostly about what could possibly happen in the future. The characters are very interesting. The climax and theme are great and the whole book is very interesting. It kinda is a little adventure mixed with science.

It was boring at times but overall it was a really good book. I liked how adventurous it was but I didn’t like how long it took to get to the point. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend. It is very amusing and makes you want to keep on reading and never stop. The only thing I hated was how the book ended but that just means I have to read the next

    How did I feel about the book Unlikely Allies? I had lots of difficulty reading the book, from the sudden changes in scenes to the exhausting writing. It felt like a sloppy mess of sudden twists and turns that would, in most books, keep me intrigued, but this did not interest me at all. If the author added just a little bit of flair to the certain parts of the writing then I think I would really enjoy the book. The book had things I didn’t like, a few things I did like, and a couple things I would change.…
