Amazing, Breathtaking, Phenomenal

Wow, I read this book about two years ago and I loved it!!! Now I'm re-reading it. It really makes you think. It makes you ask questions and forces you to predict what will happen, all in a way any person young or old can understand. This book digs really deep. It goes into confusing concepts like time. How a single thing can happen and cause the domino effect. Everything has a conciquence and this book teaches that very nicely. It has humor, saddness and detail. The plot moves along quickly but you still catch the erie-ness of it. A great book for all ages. Even though I am re-reading it, I still am amazed at what happens. My heart still starts to speed up when the action rises even though I know what is going to happen. And my heart breaks when certain things happen even though I know how everything is going to work out eventually. Only a truly amazing book can do this to someone. I would definately recommend The Power of Un to any of my friends. And I'm sure that after reading it they would recommend it too. Yours Truly, A kid Reviewer

"The Power of Un" is GREAT!

I am nine years old. "The Power of UN" was so interesting it took me only 4 hours to read it! I liked Lorraine Froggner best because she is a good student a lot like me, or I try to be! Gib is also a chacter I like because he's brave to stop everyone getting killed in the street!

The Power of Un

Looking for a thought provoking book for your kids? My kids would not put it down so I read it myself. Great fun, better than Star Wars!

Wonderfully fun, thought-provoking read!

I loved this book! It explores fascinating questions, like what would happen if we *could* go back just a little bit in time and undo a mistake, while staying fast-paced and exciting. The characters- narrator Gib Finney, his sister, Roxy, and friend, Ash are all likable and unique. I had a hard time putting it down!
