Enjoyable & Refreshing

I wouldn't put this in the "thriller" category necessarily, but Transmission is definitely an interesting story with some callbacks to classic scifi. I find this nod to the greats, and really the genre as a whole, tasteful and refreshing given the various modern trends out there. Some of the story is predictable and sometimes oddly repetitive, but it definitely captured my imagination and even had me choosing to sit on the sofa listening with my dogs rather than playing Xbox or watching a stream service. Definitely recommend.

good YA book for adolescents and adults

This is a good book for adolescents and adults alike. Adults should listen to what children of all ages have to say Some of it may just be useful. I enjoyed listening to it on audible. The speaker does a good job.

Unbelievable main character

I find it hard to believe that the author has ever even seen a 13 year old boy let alone met one so I don't understand why he chose to depict one as his main character. The way the main character acts and that other characters respond to him is entirely unbelievable in my opinion. the lack of immaturity and the way adults listen to and blindly follow him is unbelievable. the plot is simple, shallow, and derivative

A solid YA novel

A unique young adult novel where a young boy with a rare brain condition is the only human on Earth who is receiving messages from an incoming alien race. He then is the only person who can decipher radio signals which set in motion the events which has them racing to understand what all these messages could mean. My only complaint about the book is that this being a young adult novel, it treats all adults as slow and simply not understanding what's really going on, or not believing the children, and the children in the book ALWAYS seem to have all the answers. Still a solid 4 star rating because it's a well thought out plot and story.

The story line. Suspense

It was exciting to listen to. I could not stop until he end of this book. Bring on the others.
