The Big Empty
J. B. Stephens Sleuth Razorbill © 2004 |
Back in a little town, a plague ran its course and killed more than half the humans around the world. Supplies ran out, and nobody could run around like they used to. Many people were curious about what would happen if they left their designated houses, so seven teenagers decide to find out what would happen when they left. They ran into a lot of trouble and surprises in this story, The Big Empty.
Now the main characters Keely Gilmore, Chris Cohen, Michael Bishop, Graham Bishop, Kenny Fortworth, and Maggie Sheffield are risking everything to travel into the forbidden territory.
I think the way J.B Stephens wrote this book was excellent, and will hook a lot of interested readers. The one thing that I didn’t like was that the story cut off at the end of the chapters to another story. One about some other character in the story. Overall the story was great, and I would defiantly recommend it to anyone interested in a good, mind boggling, and suspenseful story. If you like this, then The Big Empty is the story to read.
