How to Survive Middle School and Monster Bots

Reseña en español

I picked up this book without realizing it was the second in a series but however I really enjoyed it!

The entire novel is told in first person from the point of view of Howard Boward, a child who has to deal with all the problems that comes with being a genius. It tells how he cause chaos in the city without knowing it and how their days at school are practically a nightmare, because he is a victim of bullying. It also features his enemy-of-the-science, Gerald, who seems to have invented a robot that leaves everyone surprised. Since Gerald Howard not stand him win, decides to build a robot to overtake his rival.

When Howard talks about his problems, thoughts and occurrences, it makes a fun and comical way. I laughed with his anecdotes and the sarcastic and ironic way that he talks.

So for those who thought that the children's fiction was just for kids, I think it is wrong for adults can also enjoy; and in fact, I think if you are older, you'll understand more easily the sarcasm and logic.

It also has ingredients of science fiction, and because of robots and science, have a touch of suspense. Furthermore the end I found half satisfactory and half disappointing. Disappointing because I think Howard is a very cute character and, with his personality and his crazy ideas he'll have more adventures to live, so I guess there will be more books from him.

I recieved a free e-book through BookLookBloogers but this fact did not influence the review.
