Summary: Could the future be like this?
Comment: I think The Last Book in the Universe by Rodman Philbrick is an extremely adventurous book that I continue to think about. The
book's effect is similar to the effect of Jurassic Park or the Terminator 2. I start to think; could this really happen? The book loses a star because of the cliffhanger ending. This book takes place in the future. It is not a nice future; it is ruled by gangs and the people use probes, a kind of hallucinogen. There is only one escape from the wretched world: a place called Eden which has green grass, blue sky, and genetically improved people called "proovs" There is an orphan boy named Spaz who was disowned by
his family because he is epileptic. His sister, Bean, who is living with the family who disowned him, gets sick, so he comes to see her. In his adventure, a child who can only say "chox" an old book-writing geezer, and a conceited proov accompany him. ... I totally recommend this book, and it doesn't matter if you're an adult because you won't be bored. If Philbrick writes a sequel, buy it.

Summary: Cliff Hanger
Comment: I picture this book, The Last Book in the Universe, in my head perfectly, and I think that it would make a great movie. The plot is that Spaz(the main character) has to save his sister, Bean, from dying of a disease while he is practically in hell. He is in a horrible place because in the future the Big Shake happens (a horrible earthquake tragedy when the world becomes a terrible place where almost everyone is evil). This book reminds me of The Giver, by Lois Lowry, because they both take place in the future. I think Rodman Philbrick has high expectations of being a great author. I really hope that he decides to make a sequel to this book. It is very clever of Rodman to use a cliffhanger at the end of this book, so that everyone who reads the first book will probably want to read the second. I liked this book because it was an exciting journey the whole way through. I recommend that Rodman Philbrick write a lot more books than just the sequel.
Rating: 5
Summary: An amazing read
Comment: An excellent and completely absorbing story, ... and if you like this you should read the book "Feed" by M. T. Anderson, or vice versa.
