Keagan,
ReplyDeleteI must say I disagree with Sabrina and TJ. I would like to know what specific parts of the book feel like a different world, but I find your reaction more interesting than specific details about the book. But let us know more. How is the book different from real life? Give us specific examples from the book to support your opinions.

ReplyDeleteWell, I also really like to get away from the real world sometimes. That is one reason that I read the Redwall series. However, Star Trek is set in a science fiction world (okay, universe) and Redwall is set in a world that is somewhat like ours, with the main difference being that the “people” are animals, not humans. I’ve always had a soft spot for talking animals.
ReplyDeleteI think that science fiction can be exciting. Many sci-fi films, for example, Star Wars, are action-packed. Of course, what really excites me is the science in science fiction. I love reading the explanations of how certain fictional machines work. This is probably because I’m into real-world machines and how they work.
They are far from Star Trek, but my favorite sci-fi books are A Wrinkle In Time, a classic by Madeline L’Engle, and The Mysterious Benedict Society, a modern (last 5 years or so) work by Trenton Lee Stewart. I recommend both of those books to anyone who reads well enough to read them. However, they aren’t exactly full of battle scenes, so action-loving readers may not like them very much. However, science and/or technology fans probably will.
