Favorite and Least Favorite Parts
- For me, any time the news articles came up, I rolled my eyes. I felt those sections just took me out of the story and not in a good way. It seemed almost too separate from the plot. Perhaps if the articles were woven into the plot more, like one or two of them toward the beginning of each chapter, rather than two big chunks of them.
- I really liked whenever Sliver struggled with what he wanted to do versus what he was told to do. The conflict of doing what's right and what he's used to seemed realistic and added more depth to character.

Similiar to you, just when I think there is nothing I would not like about the book, it never fails. I too don't like the long, drawn-out chapters regarding the historical lessons. Although, a significant part of the plot, the lessons between some of the chapters seemed to take away from the storyline. Wherefore, I feel the author should have selected a different approach.
Favorite Part
I like feeling the suspense of what happens next and not what I expected. The element of surprise keeps me guessing. Needless to say, World, Incorporated: A Modern Dystopia reminds me of two additional, fictional tales I like where everything is very bad; the Left Behind book series, best-selling novels by authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, dealing with Christian dispensationalist end times: the pretribulation, premillennial, Christian eschatological interpretation of the Biblical apocalypse.
In addition to the amazing film series, Jason Bourne created by author Robert Ludlum. The difference is I like that secret agent Silver wraps things up in less than 300 intensified pages with the hope of a sequel. And I like the crafty airship named Chrome Wind and every part of its cool features, including but not limited to Franklin, the smart, often humorous, computer board.

My favorit part was when Silver was flying over the desert, and Rex came out of no where to kill him. It was compleatly unexpected to me, and I love that. Also, how can you not love Franklin's sence of humor?

My favorite parts of the book where Franklin and Rex arguing. I thought that was funny and it lightened the mood of the book and helped me get past the news clips.

Most favorite: Agent Silver's interactions with Kelly and the Shredders. It was great to see the more "human" side of Agent Silver compared to the cold-blooded and mission-driven side of him.

- Latest Review: McDowell by William H. Coles
When there was enough enforcement of news and articles,I was too much bored of reading anymore about the story.
LEAST FAVORITE PART OF THE BOOK.
The gap between the task and desire of Silver while going towards the completion of this story was much enjoyable for me.

My favorite parts: The Chrome Wind and imagining living in it; sort of like the Nautilus in Jules Verne. I also really liked the news article sections. Yes, they got tedious, but I found them to be a brilliant extrapolation of the way current events could possibly unfold.
Least favorite: When events were not well explained and the author seemed in a hurry just to tell the story.

Rex was kind of cool once he was "converted" but that was about it for me. I wouldn't wish this book on anyone.

My least favourite part of the book was the lack of worldbuilding. I think the Gariffo had a really great opportunity to showcase some of the ways of the new world, and we only caught glimpses of them. I didn't think it was enough. He allowed the news articles to build his world in a one-dimensional way, and I didn't think that was good enough.
My most favourite part was Sliver's metamorphosis. He started as a cold, hard killer, and worked his way through various situations making him a lot more personable. I ended up liking him a lot, and when Kelly died, I felt like his whole world came crashing down. It was very well written.

This is good. It almost seems as if the least favorite part for everyone was the news articles part.Bianka Walter wrote: ↑11 Aug 2018, 10:22 Contains spoilers...

I was sad about that also, but that loss for Agent Sliver seems to be a large part of his journey back from the dark world he had lived in for the past few years. He needed to know how death felt for the loved ones and survivors.
