I love dystopian sci-fi and your review makes me want to pick up the book already. Nice one! :)

The book title does not appeal to me, nor does it make clear what the story is about, but your review explains it all!

Thanks for your review. This sci-fi/fantasy book sounds interesting with the hero/villain concept in the dystopian future.

A fantasy story that begins when an asteroid threatens to hit Earth. It seems to be a good option for those who like science fiction and superhero novels. These aren't my favorite genres, but it still seems entertaining.

Dystopia is not my first choice to read, but this sounds great. I like that the characters are witty and that this is likened to Marvel and DC. Thanks for your review. I am excited.

However, I do not care for the inclusion of a child using a sub-machine gun. While this adds to the dystopian feel and is a plot point, I find it disturbing that a child is training to be a warrior.
That's why I rarely read dystopian novels, I find them too distressing. I don't care much for superhero stories, either. But you made an excellent summary both of the plot and of the strong suits and flaws of the book. Thank you.

I really am not into reading about aliens. I think this would suit those interested in Sci-fi.

It seems like there are endless series out there these days that give a new take on the "teen dystopia"; you really clarified what makes this one unique! Thanks for the great review, I'll be sure to check this one out.

Well, I'm fascinated by the fact that the author's creativity incites a reader to wonder at the scenario where a child holds a weapon. Great review.

This armageddon-sci-fi novel sounds intriguing. I tend to enjoy Marvel movies so that the characters in this book are reminiscent of X-men characters are qualities that I can appreciate. But the graphic violence, drug-use and severe cursing will be an issue for me so I'll pass on this one. Thanks for the great review!

This appears to be quite an exciting science fiction novel. I enjoy some science fiction novels but find the drug use and severe cursing take away from the pleasure of the story for me. Great review.

Even though this is a good review, I'm going to pass on this one. I enjoy my superheroes on the big screen, but not so much on the printed page. However, my guess is that the author will find a very interested and excited readership for this book. Congratulations on receiving BOTD honors.

"Tactile Therapy: Volume One" by Durell Arrington - Aliens arrive on earth, but we do not know who or what they are. We are gradually introduced to them which is intriguing as a picture is slowly developed for the reader. Thanks for the excellent review.
