According to me, Mike L Junior's book WatchDogs Abnormal Beginnings is a wonderful, adventurous read with a good plot. The aspect of the book that I liked most was its cover. I think it is artistically pleasing and symbolic. Absolutely nothing about the book disappointed me. This book falls under the category of fiction. An experienced writer's writing style is portrayed in this book. I recommend it to those readers who enjoy reading fiction . Considering how the novel is narrated, they would be impressed.

This book has a very good plot and nice storyline. However, the author did present the characters appropriately. Furthermore, there's more profanity that made me uncomfortable. There are errors that affected my reading. I think this book should be reworked for a better experience of readers. As such, I give this one a rating of 2 out of 4 stars.

"WatchDogs Abnormal Beginnings," book one by Mike L. Junior, I really like the cover of the book. The picture looks vicious, and for the right reasons. My first thought was that this could be a thriller/action/suspense kind of book. The title befits the book with the background picture of the mean-looking animal. I think you don't see many books looking like this. The picture on its cover sets the book apart from several other books. I liked whoever came up with this idea. It seems like the right idea for the cover. The title prepares the minds of readers for what to expect in the book. Mike didn't disappoint me in this book. He writes like a professional writer, full of great ideas, imagination, and creativity. The characters and events look believable and relatable. The post-apocalyptic time didn't mean things were easy or better for the living. Far from it. Everyone that didn't die wanted to survive, build, and belong. It was still a scary world. The book is very entertaining; betrayal, severe devastation, survival, rebuilding, segregation, and revenge are some of the book's key themes. The book is captivating from the beginning to the end. 

What I didn't like were some aspects that seemed not to be consistent with or relevant to the storyline. But one could tell that Mike put so much effort into the story to make it as lively as possible. I would recommend this book to adventure, suspense, and action-thriller readers. This is a book I'd like to recommend to my friends who love this kind of book. There is room for improvement, though.

There is a good germ of a story in this book. Unfortunately, it gets buried in the lack of editing, poor formatting, and dialogue from characters that all sound the same. I don't know anything about the author, but it appears that the book was written by someone either of middle school or early high school age. I'm only about a third of the way through and still unsure if I will be able to continue. The non-punctuated dialogue is driving me crazy. I am going to attempt to power through the rest of the book. It's not the worst book that I've reviewed for OBC, but it's close.

The book contained lots of errors and typos, and the use of profanity was uncalled for. I really did not find the book intriguing.

I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars because of the errors and the way the book ended. The plot line was very interesting. As for the title, it originated from the name Cole and his group decided to name their clan. Though I don't understand why the decided on that name. If you like a fast-paced thriller, I think this is the book for you.

I wouldn't usually have read this book as the first line was dreadful. "The night sky filled with flakes of snow off the hills of a brown snow boot worn by a youthful Middle-Eastern scarlet-haired female running through a forest carrying a bag full of stuff" Why did the editor not get this changed? It is too long, makes little sense, and the bag full of stuff?! However, I am glad I persevered as this book is entertaining and well-structured. The narration flows easily with this post-apocalyptic genre leaving the reader captivated with the adventures the main character goes through. I would give this book 2 out of 4 stars as there are so many errors.

My overall rating is a two out of four. The editing errors were distracting, and the profanity was unnecessary. The plot of the book was quite exquisite. I don't think I was the intended audience, so my enjoyment wasn't as good as it could have been. I think it would be beneficial for younger demographics, like teens.

It was an okay book. Wouldn't really recommends it to others. the errors in writing made it kind of frustrating to read but even if it was proofread it wasn't as good a read as I would've wanted it to be.

In my opinion, this book is an intriguing work of fiction, and I love the way the author constructed the book. This book made me feel like there'd be a time when technology might become useless to humanity. There are profane words within the book, and I'd give it an overall rating of 3 out of 4 stars.

I am impressed by all that I have read about this book. I love the book's storyline so much. I want the author to actually re-edit this book. This seems to be the only problem with this book. All in all, this book is beautiful.
