Book Review: The Colossus Rises


Review:  #373
Title:  The Colossus Rises
Series:  Seven Wonders - 1st book
Author:  Peter Lerangis
Read Before:  no
My Comments:  The plot gains momentum you get further and further in, until you get to the point where the things that happen causes you to feel all sorts of emotion for.  You feel annoyance when Patrick stuff things up, anger when Adiel hides the cupboard and sadness when the characters part ways at the end.  You feel as if you’ve travelled along with Omri on a long journey where he grows up.  You feel affected during the events that happen in the book, often you feel as if Omri is getting shoved with a lot of responsibility (that he shouldn’t have) and waiting to see how he deals with it.  Once Boone comes into the picture, things just escalate and it keeps at a good pace right until the end.  The end is quite sad though but necessary.
