The Roar by Emma ClaytonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I listened to most of this book and read some so that I could get it finished. I really enjoyed listening to it. The reader was great and hearing the words really helped build the suspense and made me feel so much more involved in the story. Playaways are so great. I wish our library had them.
This was a very exciting and suspenseful book. The characters were likeable and believable and even the parents came across as rational and normal people. I had a slight problem at the end where the book became pretty transparently didactic and preachy but it was very minor compared to my overall enjoyment of the book.
This book would be really popular with kids who like video games and anyone who liked "Hugner Games" and other dystopian novels. I have heard that a sequel is coming out and I'm really looking forward to that.
