Create Destruction is a work of fiction written in verse and authored by Ryan A. Kovacs. Dr. Larson is conducting experiments on Thomas, a twelve-year-old boy who is known as the human bomb. The purpose of these experiments is to create a human bomb that Dr. Larson can use at his discretion. It is anticipated that he will disclose his findings to the government, which is providing financing for these tests; yet, the mystery remains. How successful will Dr. Larson be?

I have to say that reading the story in verse was an interesting way to do so. Surprisingly, the verses did not feel disruptive in any way, and they made the story significantly simpler to follow and comprehend. This narrative touches on a wide range of subjects, like radiation, cancer, torture, being employed in the military, and many others.

Not only did the author manage to keep my interest from the very first page, but he also managed to keep me on the edge of my seat. Furthermore, the author was able to successfully make me feel as though I was inside the head of the character and experienced what he was experiencing, which is something that I enjoy and prefer in books. What I really liked about the book was how the author went into great detail about the emotions and the explanations he made for each struggle.

I gave this book a perfect score of five out of five stars because there was nothing about it that I found bad. The writing style was unique, and it was engaging enough that I developed a preference for it after I had the opportunity to experience it. Due to the fact that I did not discover any errors inside the book, I am also of the opinion that the editing was done perfectly.

People who enjoy reading pieces that are well written and who are not bothered by a short narrative in which the major subject of the story is destruction, as well as readers who enjoy experiencing the emotions that the characters are experiencing, are the ones I would recommend this book to.

The subject matter of this book is very interesting to me. A child with unique powers and a scientist intent on keeping something from the government would keep me entertained. I am concerned about its non-traditional writing style, though. I might have to give it a try anyway. Thanks!

The themes developed in this book are interesting but I'm afraid it's too difficult for me to appreciate a work in verses written in a language that's not my primary language. Regardless, thank you for your great review!

"Create Destruction" by Ryan A. Kovacs is a gripping work of fiction told in verse, offering a unique and compelling narrative that delves into themes of experimentation, morality, and the human psyche.

[Mehdi Hussaini]

"Create Destruction" by Ryan A. Kovacs is a thrilling dive into the world of technological warfare and ethical dilemmas. Kovacs crafts a gripping narrative filled with twists and turns, keeping readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish. The protagonist's journey from idealistic inventor to reluctant weapon creator is both compelling and morally complex, raising important questions about the responsibility of scientists and engineers in the modern age. The action-packed scenes are well-executed, immersing readers in a high-stakes battle between innovation and destruction. However, the pacing occasionally feels uneven, with some sections dragging while others race by. Additionally, certain character motivations could have been more fully explored to add depth to the story. Despite these minor flaws, "Create Destruction" is a thought-provoking read that offers a sobering look at the potential consequences of unchecked technological advancement.

Author Ryan A. Kovacs is the author of the verse novel Create Destruction. Dr. Larson is using twelve-year-old Thomas, also referred to as the "human bomb," as a subject in his studies. These experiments are meant to produce a human bomb that Dr. Larson can use as he pleases. The government is funding these tests, therefore it is expected that he will report his results to them; nonetheless, the enigma still stands. To what extent will Dr. Larson succeed?
I will read it to find the answer.

First, in the destruction series by the author, this is an intriguing premise. It makes me wonder what inspired the plot. The verses part did bother me. Sampling a few pages on Amazon has cleared the air. What I read was not complicated.
Amazing review. I am adding to my TBR.
Thanks!
