Overall rating and opinion of "Zona: The Forbidden Land" by Fred G. Baker

[Agnes Masobeng]

Although it was a little bit slow, the book is full of action and suspence which is what I liked the most. I recommend it to science-fiction lovers. For the fact that it is well written and seem to have been professionally edited, I rate it 4 out of 4 stars.

[Nicholet Haumann]

Wow. This book is so interesting and full of action and adventure. I liked that it was such and exciting read, and that it had no errors in it, which makes it more fun to read. I reccomend this book to anyone who loves adventure and an action-packed book full of mystery and intrigue.

I gave this book 3 out of 4 stars because the beginning of the book was a bit boring and the plot was unbelieveble sometimes, but however I really enjoyed reading this book because it has a lot of suspense and adventure.

It is a very interesting book with a lot of action suspense and adventures. I love the build-up of this science fiction novel. I rate it a 4 out of 4 stars.

I can't agree more. The book starts well but gets monotonous towards the end.

I would rate the book a solid three out of four. I loved how evocative all the scenes in the journey to Zona were. The battles between the beasts and the convoy were awesome to read. The entry scene of the wolves in the final battle was awesome.

I didn't enjoy how careless the character of Grant was. He had documents and letters from Uncle Randall himself right in the beginning of the story and he straight up loses them. I also didn't quite enjoy the debauchery in the camp. Towards the midsection of the book, that's all there is to talk about and no plot development.

I would recommend the book for thrill/adventure seeking readers.

I agree with your statement. The first few chapters were involving because i was totally engrossed in it. The rest of the book was not that much interesting in my opinion.

i enjoyed reading the book. it was entertaining and full of suspense. i would rate it 3 out of 4 stars because it became boring at a point but it picked up again. i recommend this book to readers who loves sci-fi and fantasy genre.

The slow pace of the book made me lose my interest really quickly so I don't think I can finish it.

[kathy2705]

I would reccomend this book to people who enjoy sci-fi books. Although these kinds of books do not particularly interest me, it was a book that stretched my thought a bit.

Overall, the book was good. There were definitely some interesting parts in it. However, it was not the most exciting book I have ever read. In my opinion, the book deserves a three star rating. WHile it was not bad, it could be much better. I don't think that I will recommend others to read it. :(

I would rate the book three out of four starts as well. I agree that it gets extremely unbelievable at times. The book got significantly worse towards the end. In my opinion, the book should get more exciting as it progresses. Unfortunately, it was not the case for this one.

I agree with your assessment. The book gets very unbelievable towards the ends. It was not my favorite book as it was not as exciting for me as other sci-fi books.

Thank you for sharing your opinion. In my opinion, the book gets very unbelievable at some ends. The end was not as excitng as I anticipated. As the book progressed, it got significantly worse. However, there were some interesting parts that made me want to read more.

I am glad you enjoyed the book. Unfortunately, it was not as interesting for me. I didn't like the fact that some parts were very unbelievable and slow. However, there were also some great parts that made me want to read more.
