corth 's review for:

The Visitor by K.A. Applegate
3.0

After the fast-paced world building and action of book 1, The Visitor is much slower and smaller in scope. It focuses on building up the characters and their roles on this team as they engage in what is basically a book-long reconnaissance mission.

I don't remember liking this one very much when I was a kid, but I think I understand better now what the author was trying to do. She's building personal stakes and helping you understand why the team is willing to get into this fight for the long haul that it's going to be.
