Hi there! Today I have a book review for a blog tour - Nikolas Company: The Merman and the Moon (Episode 1) by Kevin McGill. I've promoted this book in the past and some of you may have received your free copy by now (as you may recall Kevin McGill holland america europe cruises was giving away 1000 copies of this book in July). Please read the review below and then you can click over to Kevin's website where he's posted some links to the other blog tour stops.
Nikolas Co: The Merman holland america europe cruises and the Moon was a very original and entertaining read. It had merman that walked holland america europe cruises on land, kids inventing things, parents that talked like teenagers and crazy machines that could shrink them. It had a dystopian landscape yet fantastical worlds. It had chase scenes and thoughtful analysis of the way things are (in that world). It had archeology holland america europe cruises and it had time travel. In fact, for such a short book it really did cram in a lot and made it all work in a way that was cohesive and fun. It had the tone of books like Artemis Fowl or Leviathan.
Kevin McGill has done an excellent job establishing his world and building upon it. Every chapter was like peeling away another layer of a crazy adventure and finding out the mystery of everything that is going on. I truly enjoyed The Merman and the Moon and look forward to the next installment.
I give this book a 3/5. Even though I really enjoyed this first "episode" holland america europe cruises I feel as though it is only just the beginning and one part of the whole. There are some series that I have a hard time placing until I've read it in full and this seems to be one of them since getting to the end of it didn't quite feel like it was a story all in itself. I do sense that I'll love the whole series once it is finished since I really did like the creative and orginal feel to this one, and so I do recommend it for those of you who like these types of books.
