Criticize Based On Books Amped
Thrilled to have an Amped ARC. Started it this morning, wrote lesson plans all afternoon, and finished off friday night by devouring the rest of the book!SciFi/Dystopia fans will enjoy this book -- I sure did! I'm feeling a little Orson Scott Card, Empire, similarity. Hints of Terminator and Matrix. The Senator MUST have been modeled after Rick Santorum...So far, the story and writing is simpler than in Robopocalypse, but beautiful in its simplicity. The character doesn't seem quite fully

This book was full of scary possibilities, of technology that is plausible and beliefs and actions that are recognizable. This book is Robopocalypse on drugs. The author has definitely taken his experience with that book and amped it up a notch.Even though it was easy, and sad, to see how quickly people turn to hate and discrimination, there was a deeper message the people are inherently good. People rallied together and looked after one another. There seemed to be a message that while there

Don't take my 4 star rating of this book deter you from reading it. I had a really hard time deciding whether or not to give it a 5 star rating. Ultimately, I did decide to give it 4 stars but for personal reasons, and what I think a book should offer. And now onto the review!I loved this book! After receiving the ARC for Robopocalypse and devouring it, I was absolutely thrilled to get the ARC of Amped! In fact, I started it only 3 hours ago! I blew through this novel like a true "amp". It's a

Review of Amped by Daniel H. Wilson.I dont like to give away spoilers, and Im not very good at traditional book reviews, so Ill just give you the highlights about what I liked about Amped:While the characters in the novel have a wide range of implants, its an intriguing thought that even relatively simple intercessions in how our brain works can have big effects: an exquisitely timed series of electrical stimulations, gently pushing her mind toward the Beta One wave state...massively amplified

Although I've had a copy of Robopocalypse on my shelf since it was released last year, it never quite made it to the top of my TBR pile. That is an issue I plan to rectify soon, based on the fact that Amped turned out to be one of my favourite reads of 2012.This is a book that works on two levels - it's both a thoroughly enjoyable adventure and a deeply thoughtful look at class warfare and social prejudice. Wilson has previously been compared favourably to Michael Crichton, and based on this, I

Three and a Half star Sci-Fi This is a dark, and entirely convincing post-apocalyptic sci-fi piece, which is probably why I didnt like it as much as Robopocalypse. Call me goofy, but I insist even my End Times dramas come with some cheeky humor and unforgettable one liners, if only to break the monotony of the otherwise dark and dreary world being portrayed with relentless, grim determination. Something the author gave us in spades in Robopocalypse but fails to do here. Maybe he thought by

I'm always up for a good science fiction ethical quagmire, and I enjoyed Robopocalypse, so Amped seemed like a decent bet. It wasn't until I was 80-some pages in that I recognized something amiss:Apparently the world of Amped has next to zero women. I don't usually spend my time calculating the demographic composition of characters in a novel, but Amped was so egregiously male it was impossible not to notice. Because I expect to be accused of exaggerating, I went back through the book page by
