Invasion Book Review

"Invasion" by J.S Lewis is a science fiction, suitable for the young adults and the teens. I think it is quite well written in terms of the language, it's casual and easy to understand.

Invasion

The fiction is about a young boy, Colt losing his parents in one night and surprisingly discovered during the funeral that his parents might be murdered instead of killed by accidents.

A series of events unfolded and Colt soon to realize the world he had known before was totally different from what the reality really was. There were aliens involved in the process, and his family was involved in exterminating those vicious aliens from invading the Earth.

As he was trying to avenge his parents, he was soon to be drawn into the CHAOS, helping them to fight against the biggest threat on Earth.

The story was nicely told in a simple yet clear language usage. However, I personally think that the author could have added more twists and climax into the story line. The introductory part of Colt's life and his family was rather too long thus causing the fiction to be dull in the beginning. The real action part towards the end when all the aliens appeared was rather a bit short I suppose.

Nevertheless, it's a good book to read, especially for the teens. Definitely a healthy book to keep them occupied.

Food for thought
The part in the fiction where Lily started sharing to Colt about her real background touches me in a way. Lily never shared with anyone about her background until she met Colt. The reason that she trusted Colt so much was because Colt had the same background as her "Because you are the only person I've known could understand".

We always like to listen to our friends sharing about their deepest doubts or pains, and expecting them to trust you as they are willing to share with you. However, that's not the case always. There are things that people might not want to share with you, not that they don't trust you or treasure you, just that sometimes they didn't think that you could understand as you might not have gone through what they have experienced. Not that you wouldn't want to understand, just that you couldn't understand. :)

Have a nice day peeps! :)
