review 1: The book "Geek" by E.Archer is not only entertaining, but unique as well. As a young reader, I have read a lot of fantasy books, but nothing like "Geek". The main character is a fourteen year old bot named Ralph. One summer, Ralph gets an email from his Aunt Gert saying that she would like him to come over to her castle in England and set up her Wi-Fi. At the castle he meets his cousins. Cecil is a sixteen- seventeen boy, and he doesn't like being rich. Beatrice is around Ralph's age, if not than a year older, she is very moody, and sad most of the time. Daphne, is a seven year old little girl. She adores Ralph. As the book moves on, Ralph meets his other aunt, Chessie. Chessie and her two sister never really got along. She had a son but they don't know where he is. ... moreShe tells Ralph that she will grant him a wish, if he can get her Ralph's three cousins. That's when the real actions begins. E. Archer's "Geek", is a fun read. I enjoyed a lot. It's funny and highly amusing. For those who enjoy comedies and fantasy, this book is for you. I loved that it was at the point of view, from a fourteen year old boy. As an avid reader, I read a lot of books at girls points of views and it can get boring. It was a good change. All in all, "Geek" was very well written and I highly recommend it.
review 2: i rate this book a very conflicted meh.author is clearly a fan of Monty python, which is great, but one liner's and unexpected narrator involvement are not nearly enough to carry a book. it's another example of how writing for youth is ruining perfectly good stories. it's like if you are writing a YA book, any old gimmick will do; it's ok that all the other stuff is lame. where are the editor's that are supposed to say things like, "this is a really good idea and your style is pretty neat but you're not quite there yet. Let's see some character development and depth to provide a rich reading experience!" it's a shame. this book could have been along the lines of jasper ffjorde's books, but it falls disappointingly short. less
