Project ELE Volume 1 Rebecca Gober Courtney Nuckels Books

I would have given it 5 stars if the summary had revealed that this book had a cliffhanger ending. THERE IS NO ENDING! It simply stops unless you buy the next book -- and the one after that and the one after that, etc. I truly despise this kind of dishonesty on the part of authors. It's a shame that the books weren't written to be free standing in a series, because then people like me just might keep buying them. This is just a cheap trick to try to force our hands. What a shame that the author had not near as much integrity as talent.

Project ELE Volume 1 Rebecca Gober Courtney Nuckels Books Reviews

Warning possible spoilers. I wanted the like this book. Really I tried reading the whole thing but the spelling and grammar errors plus the lack of character development just put me off. It was like watching a train wreck you can't stop. The "romance" was so fast and forced I was left laughing it and the villain was just as bad everything was made obvious from the start. There was just so much not done right. The use of powers was actually the best written part but the mystery was lacking. I'm not even sure where they actually came from. In conclusion I unfortunately don't recommend this story.
Project ELE tells about a time when a virus has wiped out a large number of the population and the Earth’s temperature is rising to uninhabitable temperatures. Fifteen-year-old Willow Mosby must leave her life (and much of her family) behind and go into a F.E.M.A. shelter to survive. What she finds there are friends, love, amazing new abilities, and unexpected danger.

I was surprisingly disappointed by this book, which is the first in a series. There is a lot of promise in the idea (as someone who likes dystopian novels and stories about people with “powers”), but the execution was lacking

– The story is told from Willow’s perspective. I tend to find first person narratives difficult in the best of times (the characters are too in their own heads and they tend to whine a bit too much), but here it was particularly problematic because Willow is perfectly bland. She’s a sweet girl with no real defining traits. Reading the story from her perspective didn’t make me feel closer to the action and it didn’t add to the experience. She didn’t have unique insights (by contrast, Cia from The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau had unique observations about the people around her and what their behavior might indicate, which was why I found it so enjoyable) and her thought process was never clear enough for me to relate to why she did some of the things she did.

– Considering that half of Willow’s family will likely die while she is in the relative safety of the shelter, she does not think about these family members very often. I could believe this more in a third person narrative where we don’t have the character’s inner thoughts and don’t know what she is thinking at all times, but with first person, we should see her thoughts occasionally drift in their direction every so often, even if she pushes them away and doesn’t want to dwell on it.

– It takes too long to get to the point in the story where Willow and her friends discover amazing new abilities. It feels like we spend 2/3 of the book in a standard dystopian novel and then suddenly we are in a superhero story. The shift is disorienting. The special abilities elements needed to be integrated into the story earlier (even with hints and clues) and some of the details before that could have been shortened or cut out to make the story feel more cohesive.

It is very rare for me not to want to finisha book, if only because I like to know what happened, but in this case, I don’t intend to pick up book 2.
I thought this was a sci-fiction or YA, but it can best be described as "fantasy" aimed at the 11-12 year old market. The writing is very stiff, and the main characters are all crosses between Super Man and Wonder Woman. There is a little romance, but it seems very out of place with such childish characters.

Worst of all, this is an incomplete story, designed to force you to buy the next "issue" to answer ANY question.

Save you money - there are much better books on the market.
I haven't made it past the first few pages, and don't think I can continue due to the grammatical errors and continued use of the phrase "I could care less". The correct phrase is "I COULDN'T care less"... otherwise what's the point? It's one of my biggest pet peeves. The premise sounds interesting, but I don't enjoy reading books that I have to edit as I go.
This is a neat, fast-read sci-fi tale that is not only good for adults but is primarily aimed at the young adult / older children market. Without having a spoiler, rather than aliens you have an apocalyptic-type scenario with a disease, sequestration while a radical attempt to eradicate the disease takes place, followed up by a group of kids who get into mischief with far-reaching implications. The authors do a good job of getting you quickly into the story and feeling the emotions of the characters.

Parents can recommend this for their kids' s as well as their own - no profanity, sex, or drugs, just a good story and tale. It's unusual to find a book you can enjoy with your kids and both be entertained.

I picked this up for free during a promotion vs. the normal pricing of the version of 99 cents free or 99 cents, you are certain to get a lot of value (more than 99 cents out of this one). I enjoyed this one, and picked up Part II of the series, as well as sent it to my junior-high daughter's .
This book was actually quite entertaining & I voraciously read over half of it. But then (Spoiler Alert), the strange powers that Willow suddenly possesses just made the book ridiculous. I expected the "evil lab scientists" but it all falls apart. Then yet another, "no mystery solved so buy our next 4 books" happens! Ugh. Thank you to authors who DO write stand alone novels but this is NOT one of them! Authors, yes some readers will buy more of your books to find out what happens. I found this so ludicrous that I don't care what happens next.
I would have given it 5 stars if the summary had revealed that this book had a cliffhanger ending. THERE IS NO ENDING! It simply stops unless you buy the next book -- and the one after that and the one after that, etc. I truly despise this kind of dishonesty on the part of authors. It's a shame that the books weren't written to be free standing in a series, because then people like me just might keep buying them. This is just a cheap trick to try to force our hands.
