review 1: The Only Boy by Jordon Locke*was given a copy in exchange for a honest reviewI was so excited when I found out that I was given the opportunity to review THE ONLY BOY by Jordon Locke. I loved the blurp and thought the premise of a society with no men was different and something that I have not read in awhile. THE ONLY BOY is a light and face paced read but it was so fast that I had to go back and read chapters over, thinking I missed something. The changing of POV between Mary and Taylor, although I liked it, was confusing at times.I half to admit that I really thought I was going to like the book and I did like the first half but something happens at about midway and I was just lost and did not get it. I just could not connect with Mary nor Taylor. I am really sorry to... more say this but I got bored and skipped to the end. I just could not take it anymore.I really feel this book has a great deal of potential. I also think a younger audience might like it more but some scenes would need to be removed. This is just my opinion.THE ONLY BOY by Jordon Locke receives 3 out of 5 Platypires!TEXAS HUGS AND HAPPY READING!!!!
review 2: Being a huge fan of dystopian novels, I did not enjoy this book as much as I hoped I would. I felt that for a story that started out with all female characters but one, it came across as condescending toward women. It seems the author was out to disprove the premise that the world would be a more peaceful place if women were in charge. The parts I did like included when when Mary found research on the need for human touch in the development of children and realized this was a problem in their society where laws kept them from touching at all because they thought it would stop the spread of disease. I kept reading despite my irritation with the main characters hoping for more insight like this. less
