You may not know it, but lurking in the neighborhoods of Jackson, MS are….kids who are amazing readers! That’s right! I have had the privilege to meet with some of these kids and not only do they read and comprehend beyond the normal range, but they also know how to talk about why they liked a book. John Chase Bryan read Brain Jack by Brian Falkner for me and wrote a review. This book is great for fans of Artemis Fowl and video games and—well, don’t take my word for it!
John Chase’s Review:
The book Brain Jack is about a hacker called Sam. One day Sam hacks into Telecomerica’s files and accidentally turns off America’s power for one day. Later he is caught and sent to prison. Sam escapes and is offered a job at CDD or Cyber Defense Division. He accepts and then while stopping hackers, a freak virus destroys the hackers’ computers from the inside.
The team at CDD consists of Dodge, Kiwi, Vienna, and Sam. Later they are beaten by the hackers and Sam thinks it is because the hackers have neuro headsets. So CDD gets neuro headsets, then the virus shocks Dodge to where he is unconscious. The virus is a virtual being that made Kiwi think that Sam hurt Dodge, so Sam, Dodge and Vienna escape to Las Vegas which was nuclear bombed by terrorists. The virtual being is hunting them down by making everyone think Sam, Dodge, and Vienna are terrorists so that the police will hunt them. Once Dodge regains consciousness he builds a virus to destroy the being. Will the Virus work? Read to find out.
I liked the book; it was a good read. The book is easy to understand for someone like me who isn’t that interested in computers. However, there are some parts I had no clue about. It does start at a slow pace but accelerates all the way through the book. Review written by John Chase
