Sent to Watch by David J. Lebenstein narrates the fictional story of multiple Earths and aliens with similar physical appearances but differences in civilization. The central administrative head of this earth was Earth 1. As Earth 48 joined the confederation, some undercover agents were sent to watch and observe it. They noticed that most people on Earth 48 were right-handed instead of the common left-handed among other Earths. They also wrote from left to right. This and many other differences made Earth 48 a place of interest for the confederation. Agents Ori and Unni, who were assigned to this Earth 48, are faced with the unexpected as they continue their mission.
 
Two agents, Ori and Unni, who were sent to observe Earth 48, began to develop feelings for each other, which is against the agent rules. This complicates their mission in so many ways. I love the way the author creatively tells his story across different Earths. Grab a copy of this book to experience the journey of these agents in a world different from what they are used to.
 
There was nothing to dislike about this book, as the author was able to put his imaginative mind into understandable text. I love the fact that a lot was considered while the author developed a society for the characters in the sense that religion, culture, politics, and other aspects of existence were included in the book. I found no grammatical errors, which means that this book was exceptionally edited.
 
I will rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because I enjoyed learning about a whole new civilization. I enjoy the story of Ori and Uni because of their courage in going against their rules to pursue what mattered to them. Other areas of the book, like the glossary, really helped to reduce the confusion that comes with some of the peculiar terms used throughout the book. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy fictional novels that are not too lengthy. If you're looking for something different from the regular science fiction books, then "Sent to Watch" is a perfect choice for you. Adults and teenagers can enjoy the book alike, as it provokes the imaginative abilities of its readers.
