I also read Superhighway and felt it was too repetitive for me. Alex's hungar and need to eat was redundant to say the least and the descriptions of his "drug" and alcohol use were also too repetitive for me.bclayton13 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2018, 23:56 I actually read Superhighway by Alex Fayman. I even posted a review on it here. I really enjoyed it and rated it 4/4 stars, though there were some homonym errors that almost made it a 3/4. There were less than 4, though, so I felt that it deserved the higher rating. I recommend it, it's a pretty fun adventure (though a little tragic at times). Most of the time I was reading it it felt as if I was indulging in "when I become rich" fantasies.

I'll rate it 7/10
It would have been more but I do understand why people compare it with the Lord of the rings

Now that you bring that up, you're right. There was a reason for it; after he travels it depletes his energy, but after the first time we understood how hungry he got. The long descriptions of that hunger every time was a bit much. As for the drug use, I didn't feel that it happened too much.anwidmer wrote: ↑24 Jun 2018, 09:41I also read Superhighway and felt it was too repetitive for me.

Just in regards to the descriptions of when he would smoke or drink, they were repetative like the eating decriptions werebclayton13 wrote: ↑24 Jun 2018, 19:52Now that you bring that up, you're right.

It was a good read, but nothing ground breaking or that will leave a lasting impression on me or the genre. It was useful for transitioning from reading a series I enjoyed to finding something else to read.

I attempted this one. I think I made it half way through before I put it down permanently. The plot was interesting and the idea unique, but I felt the characters were relatively uninteresting and I was not a fan of the whole romance triangle thing. (But I'm a guy so it's pretty low on my list of priorities.)Angelina_Miller wrote: ↑24 Jun 2018, 08:48 The last book I read was Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. I would give the book a 4.5 star out of 5. Even though the book was amazing and it caught the readers attention in every page turned the ending felt a bit rushed and made me kind of wonder, why?
