I got <i>Brain Jack</i> for my preteen son, a budding nerd who, while an avid reader, is extremely picky about novels. He absolutely loved it and declared it to be the best book he had ever read, even better than his previous favourite <i>Epic</i> by Conor Kostick. </p>Leila commented on '<i>Brain Jack</i> -- Brian Falkner'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20147e05f3b6f970b2010-12-04T14:51:21Z2010-12-04T14:51:21ZLeilahttp://bookshelvesofdoom.blogs.comApples and oranges: I think of Feed (which I haven't read in a long time) as more "literary" -- more...<p>Apples and oranges: I think of <i>Feed</i> (which I haven't read in a long time) as more "literary" -- more time for reflection, the climax was internal rather than external, and it dealt more with the interplay between the characters and the growth of the main character -- while <i>Brain Jack</i> was more pure action, with external issues/problems, and without much focus on character development. Both well-written and totally enjoyable, but in different ways, because they're different animals.</p>bibliogrrl commented on '<i>Brain Jack</i> -- Brian Falkner'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20147e05bdb76970b2010-12-04T01:46:50Z2010-12-04T01:46:50ZbibliogrrlHow does it compare to M.T.
