Extension was so much more than I expected! I really loved
the story and I especially fell in love with the characters. Fans of YA sci-fi
books must add this book to their to-be-read piles.
The beginning of Extension threw me off a little and I
actually didn’t know if the book would work for me. There wasn’t anything wrong
with the beginning, but I assumed the rest of the book would be heavy with the
sci-fi stuff (I’m more into sci-fi/fantasy lite books). I’m so glad I kept
reading because I truly enjoyed the storyline. The pace was great and I never
grew bored with the plot. The sci-fi elements were there, but they never
overwhelmed the story.
The book is told in two points of view: Oliver and Colby. I
could tell from the get go that the two have some sort of connection and I was
intrigued over how the author planned to tie their stories together. Colby was
AMAZING! Loved his character.
The biggest surprise for me about the book was how funny it
turned out to be. I loved the dark humor in Colby’s chapters and I found myself
giggling more than once while reading.
Extension is a must read for both adults and teens!
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Good to hear about the surprising humor and that even with reservations at first, it ended up being a good read for you
