I did enjoy the unique format to this book -- each chapter written by a different author, many of whom I enjoy -- but I can't believe that this is classified by the library as "children's". Young adult, sure, but it touches on polygamy, molestation, death and NY of the future in ways that I can't imagine a child could understand.
The format reminded me of exercises in creative writing when one person would start the story and you could only see the line immediately before you and you have to take it from there. The difference is that the thread did connect all the stories, and certain authors picked up on details from the ones who had gone before them.

This book is a really great read! Each chapter is written by a different author, and though mixing writing styles might be an off-putting thought, it works really well in Click because each chapter is about a different person. The common thread throughout the book is the recently deceased George "Gee" Keane. PLUS, there is the added bonus that in purchasing this book, the proceeds go to Amnesty International!

Great concept although seeing as there was so many authors and so many perspectives it didn't flow very well. I found it hard to be really intrigued once I started reading because there was so much chop and change.
Still a great idea and I liked the characters and the personal decision on wether you thought he was a good or bad person.
But often it was hard to link and often things weren't explained and just left behind and ideas forgotten.
Don't know if I could have got through it if it were longer. Too many points of view.

This is an interesting book almost like a bunch of short stories linked together. This book focuses primarily on the two grandchildren of a famous photojournalist. Upon his death his granddaughter got a box with a bunch if different shells, his grandson his camera.

I read this book when I was probably in 8th or 9th grade and I loved it. I recently stumbled upon and it, and I thought that I would read it again since I remembered loving it so much. I didn't remember the majority of the plot, so I was still pleasantly surprised throughout. There are a few chapters I'm not very fond of, but since each one is written by a different author and only lasted about 30 pages, it was easy to want to keep reading.

Pretty good story. The ending is very poor, it jumps over a big time period and then does not tie up some significant portions.

I LOVED this book until the last 2 chapters. The story elements were could there, but the details involved in projecting into the future just didn't feel right to me. I loved the chapters in the past and present, but the future chapters, not so much. The characters were well written, but the setting was weak. If you didn't look, I don't think it would be obvious that different people wrote the chapters.

This was a really good book. The different writers did a great job tying their sections together to fit into the overall narrative. I thought it would have been choppy because of the different people writing each chapter, but instead I wanted to keep reading from one to the next.
