review 1: The beginning of the book was confusing. The reader was bounced between two different realms without any indications. This left me confused at times and forced me to retread the previous couple of paragraphs. I can only assume the author was trying to simulate the characters confusion. I found this to be annoying and on several occasions I almost stopped reading. It also gave the storytelling an amateurish feel to it. As the story progressed realm jumping switched to being done in chapters, which helped the story, also as the book progressed the writing improved. I liked the concept for the story and wanted to like it more, but the weak start is what is bringing the rating down. The last quarter of the book redeemed the store enough for me to read the second book with the ... morehopes that it is a more solid story.
review 2: Owen Sage was glad that his two friends decided to follow him to Boston Falls University instead of going to their parent's choice. They grew up together and did everything together, and at eighteen he couldn't part with the two. They were like the three musketeers. He was on his way to counseling and as he went through the door he suddenly felt dizzy, he lost his balance and fell to the floor knocked out. He awoke from a strange dream about a place called Everville and a man called The Keeper and strange beings called The Fron. As he tried to make sense of the dreams he and his two friends decided to take several classes together. He never knew how he would play a major part in a war between them of The Other in Between and The Keepers that kept balance between the seven realms that included Earth, yet if Them won, they'd all would lose their freedom and be apart of the collective much like The Borg in STARTREK!Roy Huff spins the beginning of a series that has young Owen pitted against evil forces that wanted to rule the universe! Owen must learn to use the powers he never knew he had to keep Everville from crumbling and eventually his world too!! less
