Subject Seven

review 1: The book Subject Seven I thought was a very good book. Sometimes I would get confused because they didn't make things clear. I didn't realise that Hunter was Joe's human side until almost the end of the book. Other than a few things like that it is a one of the best books I've read in the last two years. The book is about a top secret experiment that was soldiers that are perfect and can interact with eachother without talking. All the other subjects had been adobted except Subject Seven. When he is 11 Subject Seven exscapes from the compound and searches for four years to find the others.He eventually gives himself the name Joe Bronx because he saw the St.Joseph church and he got Bronx because he was in the Bronx bourough. Then the book switches between the other subjects... more and trying to find out why they wake up in weird spots and don't remember anything. Cody wakes up in a jail and doesn't know why and Joe keeps contacting him and the others like Gene. He has them come to Boston and he wakes up their other halves. When the company that started the project comes and fights them after the fight the book just drops off and ends without a proper ending. I don't like it when books do that, that is another reason about the book I don't like. I liked the plot of the book though it was interesting and different from what I normally read. The way the author wrote the book it was not that hard of words I understood most of them but sometimes the author was being to vague and didn't go into detail enough. I think the age group should be ages 14-16 because there is some violence and if your older its too easy of a read.
review 2: Wow, this was not what I was expecting. I feel like I've been deceived. The blurb really brought me in, and the book just felt a little lack luster.So we start off with Subject Seven...perhaps one of the most violent creatures(wouldn't even consider him human) I've had the pleasure of reading. The level of violence is off the charts. It's practically screaming for a stamp of approval from Michael Bay. There is a distinct lack of character development throughout the book. As if they were clones of the same cardboard cutouts. Each chapter is introduces a new character for a total of 6. We start off the first chapter with Subject Seven's daring escape, and it's brilliant. But that doesn't last as you continue. The characters are hashed together with little to no connections with each other, until they meet. And it becomes harder and harder to place the characters with the right backgrounds with the shifting POVs. The villain, Evelyn, however, is perhaps the most interesting. The way she treats the Others, like they are her own children, vs. the soldiers, as objects. And they are the same persons. I'm 99% sure she is insane. In the end, I couldn't find myself attached to any characters. Subject Seven touts itself as a science-fiction slash militaristic novel, but so far it lacks both. The pseudo-science is hashed together with little to no explanation of how their transformations work and while the Janus Corporation is the villain, we don't get to go beyond Evelyn and delve deeper into the corporation that created these covert assassins.And the dozens of errors sprinkled throughout the book got on my nerve. There were several spelling errors and quite a few of the words were cut off or missing. If you like a lot of action with bland characters and a story thrown together, that's barely holding together, then this is something you might like. less
