Burn Down, Rise Up
by Vincent Tirado
This one definitely started out with a bang, in a grab your attention way. Exactly how a horror movie might start out. And while my rating is lower, only 3 stars, it really did kind of follow how horror movies are these days. A lot of things happen and characters make decisions that as the audience who watches these types of movies it is something we know they will decide, but really they haven’t found any evidence or reasoning in the actual plot for why they make their decisions. And like I saw other reviews say, we don’t necessarily get the answers to exactly why this is happening.
But, I liked the idea behind the story, the whole having to play a game and follow the rules, as it relates to things that have been showing up online or in other tv shows and movies. So that was fun. The creatures and the world that the characters disappeared into were perfectly creepy and written in a way that I could see them almost always as the author described them. A very vivid picture painted for this story. There were some realistic ways that the high schoolers actived in reaction to rumors or what might be going on around them, which I liked. The book had representation with the two main characters in several ways, and with the supporting characters as well.
A fun read, one I will get for my school library for my students to enjoy as well.
