Readers Comments:
The Curious World of Shelley Vendor was a really interesting and exciting book. My favourite part was finding out Shelley's secret. My favourite character's are the Plogs, because they're really exciting to read about. I read the book in two day's and could not put it down. I bought a signed copy from Waterstones in Camarthen where Colin was signing and I can't wait for 'The Curious World of Katie Hinge' to come out. Aimee Tunstall Camarthen West Wales April 23rd 2011.
I really had to think about this review before writing it. There is so much right with Crank Tech One but there is also a lot that is wrong. But overall my experience reading the book was positive. The best thing to say about Crank Tech Run is that it was a fun read. The book is quirky, the story a bit different, it had some fun twists to the story and overall I read it with a smile on my face. I’ve read a lot of “robot” stories and seen a number of “robot” movies and this story was fairly original and not a rehash of plots I had seen before.
However, the writing is very uneven. There are points where I was impressed with a well written section, and then cringing at the writing in another section. Many times the story progressed forward brilliantly – but at other points it relied on hokey contrivances. If the entire book were written up to the standards of its best segments, it would be a five star sci-fi classic. The poor parts had the effect of pulling me out of the story, which is never good.
I am going with four stars because the plot was original, and there were several shining moments in the book.L Sweet 4 stars October 12 2015
