review 1: It has taken me longer to review this book than I had planned. Why, you ask…because I couldn't wrestle it away from my children long enough to actually read it! Strike of the Sweepers is the fourth book in Tyler Whitesides' Janitors series. I have to say that Whitesides has an incredible imagination. In each book I am always amazed at the ideas he comes up to "glopify" cleaning supplies - the rake was classic. That would come in handy for a couple of my children ;-).Although my kids were super excited to read the "next" one, I will admit I wasn't all that thrilled. It seems like every author nowadays writes a series and most of them really shouldn't. After two or three books the story usually becomes repetitive and VERY predicatable. I will admit I was expectin... moreg nothing less from this series. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The plot of course was predictable, but there were enough surprises thrown in to keep you guessing and make it enjoyable. While this probably isn't a "classic" - it is a good book for kids and adults who want a quick fun read.
review 2: Whitesides has delivered another heart-pounding adventure full of fantastic inventions, daring-do, and betrayal. Spencer, Daisy, and their friends are determined to use the recently acquired Manualis Custodem (see book 3) to help bring back the Founding Witches. But things aren't looking good when they come up against Mr. Clean and his new goons, the Sweepers time and time again. Can the Rebels accomplish their goal of freeing the witches? And if they do will it turn out to be everything they hope for? I don't dare say more than that because I don't want to give anything away and there are some rather shocking twists in this book. But the excitement and fast moving plot will keep readers glued to the pages and eager to read the final volume. Sigh. I hate having to wait a year for the next book in a series, especially the last book. Although, you'd think I'd be used to it by now. I really enjoyed getting back into the lives of Spencer and Daisy, Walter, Alan, Penny, and Bernard, the garbologist. One of my favorite things though is Bernard's fancy new garbage truck. I never would have expected to find a garbage truck cool, but this one is very cool (it's been Glopified of course). This is an amazing series perfect for fantasy loving readers, but there is fantasy violence and some deaths but they aren't graphic at all. One of my all time favorite series. less
