I enjoyed this engaging book, and it was an excellent start to the series. Therefore, I give a rating of four out of four stars. There was no language or erotic content, so this book would be a good, clean read for young adults who like humorous science fiction.

While I normally avoid science fiction novels, the puzzles appear to be interactive and allow the reader to solve a mystery while enjoying a humorous story. I also like having a nerd as the main character. Thanks for the review!

The book sounds interesting; it is about an ordinary nerdy boy who was bullied at school and finds a puzzle box that changes his whole life suddenly. I'm curious how he would have survived and how he would have handled a scenario like this. And what will the ending be? I will definitely give this book a shot. Thanks for the honest and comprehensive review.

A Delightfully Entertaining Journey Through Time.The novel is well-edited, with only a few minor errors that do not significantly impact the reading experience. Overall, "Beyond the Bowling Ball Bombing" is a highly engaging and entertaining read, deserving a rating of four out of four stars. It is a clean and enjoyable choice for young adult readers who appreciate humorous science fiction. Kordel Lentine has created a promising start to the "From Under the Sun" series, leaving readers eagerly anticipating what comes next.Terrance's character development is a standout feature. Readers witness his transformation and self-assessment as he navigates the challenges presented by time travel and its impact on his life. This growth is both relatable and inspiring.

I can't say that the arrival of a mysterious puzzle box is anything new in pop-culture, but personally I was never disappointed at how those scenarios turned out. Reading the review assured me that in this book I could find another great story to spend my time enjoying.

The mix of science fiction, time travel, humor, and suspense looks appealing. I'm curious what this puzzle box thing is like around Terrance and the ordinary bowling ball. Sounds interesting!

:DMentions a small complaint about a chapter detailing futuristic technology, which slows down the action. While this doesn't seriously affect the book's overall four-star rating, it does suggest that a half point might have been subtracted for that aspect.

Overall, the reviewer finds "Beyond the Bowling Ball Bombing" a well-edited book appropriate for young adults who enjoy humorous science fiction. It also highlights the availability of continuations in the series, which could appeal to readers who want to further explore Terrance's story.

The book is nicely written, and the episode of the bowling ball bombing was enough to grab my attention. But I'm not too keen these days on time travel novels, so I'll take a pass. However, the right audience for this book is going to love it.
