Literally the most fast-paced book I've ever read. Easy to pick up, although the main character isn't interesting.

This book was awesome! Shocking, action packed, and deep. It had everything a good book needed. And the style--using fragments--definitely a good choice. It totally felt like I was looking at the world through Jack's eyes. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this trilogy.

I liked this as a teen so I tried re-reading it & ... 💀 We should let the past stay in the past.

Good main character, a football star who finds he is from the future and has a telepathic dog, but after the cool idea wears off, it gets very repetitive.

It has been four years since I read this book. At the time I was fifteen, and had had limited exposure to YA. Now at eighteen I have read quite a few YA books and this book HAUNTS ME TO THIS DAY. I for the rest of eternity will remember the page in which the idiotic main character decides to discuss (in serial) the perfect triangle of pubic hair the (alien?) female side character has. ITS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
This was one of the most cringest books I've ever read. Scratch that, the cringiest book I've read. Obligatory romance? Of course there is a really weird romance because 2006. Really (and I mean really) annoying and cringeworthy rampages about environmental damage by a talking, telepathic dog. (Oh yes, a talking telepathic dog. This isn't I Am Number Four, this is just confusing) like seriously, was this how bad YA fiction was in the early 2000's? Yikes. I thought it would be interesting, but more or less it made me want to throw it against the wall in frustration. (But alas this was a library book and I would do that)
It's been months and I still can't get over how annoying this book is and how much I dislike it. Ughhhhhhhh

Absolutely exhilarating. This book is action packed and keeps you on the edge of your seat! The character are amazong and the book in relatable. Highly recommend. It makes you think about how humans are really doing to the Earth.

Think pace is determined by sentence length? So does David Klass and his earth-saving narrator, Jack Danielson, who has been sent back in time to save the planet by finding Firestorm, something prophesied to save the earth, only, of course, no one knows what it is. His telepathic dog Gisco is lovable and speaks in mostly full sentences. I would have liked this book better without the sentence fragments. But not much.
