Comments:

Adam is dying and doomed to live the remainder of his short life in a wheelchair until he is selected as one of six teenagers chosen to participate in an experimental brain/consciousness transfer that would enable him to inhabit a robot body and be trained as a weapon by a secret government agency. Far-fetched storyline, undeveloped characters, and clunky writing had me groaning all the way through this read. Pass. Yvette/Merrimack

I got sucked in but I agree with the Yvette's comments. It seems all around unimpressive. Mollie/Portsmouth

I have to make that a third. Let's pass for something more worthwhile. Amy - Barrington Middle School
