A review by fernthepanda
Unplugged by Gordon Korman
4.0
I received eARCs courtesy of Balzer + Bray/Harper Audio via NetGalley (audiobook) & Edelweiss (print) in exchange for my honest review.
Getting this right out of the way: the audiobook was read by a synthetic voice which is very odd listening to a robotic tone reading a book centered around ridding your life of technology. It is very hard to judge the audiobook as a result, but luckily, I also got an eARC of the book itself.
This book is just what you would expect from Korman. That playful humor that emanates throughout the rest of his stories is alive and well in Unplugged. Kids are not going to be even a little disappointed in this story and I expect it to end up on many statewide book award lists.
For Libraries: If Korman's other works are popular in your library, you certainly won't want to pass this one up.
