Rather enjoyed the build up and plot twists, setting up other books on the series beautifully.
Easy to read and targetted at the younger readers.
That’s why it only gets two stars.

Quite often in the course of reading this story, I found myself shaking my head in sheer disbelief at the endless talents of Kevin and Luna and thought seriously about aborting. Although I made it to the end of book 1 of The Invasion Chronicles, I will most definitely not be reading books 2 and 3 and who knows how many more "episodes" the author plans.
Quite honestly, I think this book should be classified as a child's book.

1) Instances of poor word choice; (get a better editor).
2) No proffered scientific explanations by strangely accepting scientists from two of the world's foremost authorities, (SETI and NASA).
3) Cardboard cut-out characters
4) Author tries too hard to make the 13 year-old MC, Kevin, 'likeable'. He's a walking, talking set of virtues.
5) Repetition of key points of the story.
6) The writing was limited, lacking richness and verve.
It's hard to believe the author is bestselling. Maybe fantasy is her forte rather than sci-fi.

This isn't a bad book but it is certainly not a great one. My view is that the plot relies too much on events that happen at the critical point rather than any really strong plot line. It's an OK read. An issue could be that I'm not a member of its intended audience but even this does not not convince me that I am being over harsh.


The way it was written from the point of view of a 13 year old was really good and I enjoyed that part of it.
The problem happens when the story got to a point where it would be unfeasible for the action to turn out like the book described, it was as though the story was written by a 13 year old who didn't know things like proper safety procedure, military or academic requirements etc but apart from that it was a reasonably fun read. It felt more like a teen novel than an adult novel
