My Exploration

For my E, I read the sequel, called Things Hoped For. I also asked my friend who also read the book some questions. 

1. How are Things Not Seen and Things Hoped For alike or different? 

Maddy: Well, in both of them, there is some sort of sienc-y mystery, involved, and they are both kind of paranormal in a way. Also, there are some of the same characters.

Me: Both of them have a science-fiction sort of mystery going on, and also the main character in the first one, Robert, is a secondary character in the second book. I don't think they are actually a series but they have very similar plots. 

2. What did you like about this book? 

Maddy: I liked the plot because it was interesting and there was always something happening.

Me: I liked that it was kind of a science/mystery thing, and it was like a clean, kids version of CSI, almost.

3. What was something you didn't like about the book?

Maddy: Well, it was kind of bland for me, and also it was a pretty short novel considering the story line. It could be a longer book if it was re-written. I've never really like Andrew Clements. 

Me: I didn't like that the author used repetitive words sometimes, and a lot of the sentences started the same. He also had a lot of choppy sentences.

4. What would you rate this book, and why?

Maddy: I would give it a 7.5/10 because the author didn't really go into detail in some of parts, but it was still a good story.

Me: I would give it a 6/10, because there wasn't enough description to really soak in the book.
