The Message
by K.A. Applegate
This is my first time reading this series. The first three that I read were the graphic novel version, this being the first text version that I've read. In several ways, I think I prefer the graphic novel version. This isn't bad, I just think I like the story better that way.
Not sure if this is because I'm changing over to text but I think this was my least favorite of the series so far. In many ways, I am starkly reminded that these kids are kids. I got slightly annoyed that they weren't taking what's going on as seriously as I feel they need to. I also wish that the characters were more developed than they were. Jake is labeled as the leader even though he hasn't done anything in the series to make him the leader in any way. I would be more likely to think of Tobias or Rachel as the leader. I'm also not really about Jake and Cassie's budding 'romance' as they have no chemistry or reason to get together, it feels pretty forced. I am going to continue in the series, though, as I'm interested to see where things go.
