Book- No Sleep
Genre: Science Fiction
Mature: No
LGBTQ: No
Author: Jelly_Monroe
Book Title
The title seemed perfect to me because once Xander learns about the project, his sleeps indeed fade away.
Book Cover
The cover too was perfect. It had a metallic hand pointing to an eye. Again, it matched with the title and the plot hinting to sleep or no sleep at all.
Book Description
While the description seemed okay to me, I'd like to know a little more about the "No Sleep Society mantra" that the author mentioned in it.
Plot
The plot revolves around our main character Xander who doesn't want to sign up for an updated hand offered by the KaiHueInc. The updated hand basically replaced the human hand with a technologically improved metallic hand. Xander is a soldier and once he's offered a good deal of money for volunteering in this project, he doesn't understand why he and the other volunteers will get paid for such. When such questions arise, Xander tries to investigate on his own but is prevented from doing so by a detective assigned by the KaiHueInc that was conducting the project. Now he gets observed even more than before by the officials and soon he learns that his friend Lupita has agreed for volunteering and he needs to stop her from doing so.
Spelling, Punctuation, Grammar and Vocabs
I didn't find any issues with this sector other than a few technical words used which I suggest can be understood better if the author includes a key.
Writing Style, Character Development, Flow and Setting
Crafting the story by using descriptions is the author's strength. This made the writing style and setting planning stand out. The author also knows how to use similes brilliantly. Character building was another factor that made the book a good read. I enjoyed the curious mind of Xander who later found out that the KaiHueInc sells customer data to third party companies. Lupita seemed a care free character who understood things when it concerned money which is why she readily accepted the offer by the KaiHueInc. Sergeant Gennaro possessed a calm character when Xander went mad hearing about Lupita's agreement which I felt was appropriate. Along with these, the flow went good.
Creativity and Enjoyment
The nickname "Longshot" given to Xander seemed amusing to me. The way in which Lupita spoke seemed really catchy. I think the friendship between Xander and Lupita and the KaiHueInc searching for volunteers for their project will bring many more things in spotlight after further read. So I am going to continue my read with this book.
