Convince us to read the book: Paradox had a good plot and I enjoyed reading it, but it seemed like the characters had unreal personalities at times (mostly in the beginning) and there could have been a lot more detail. By the end (second half) it started to get pretty interesting. It would have been better if it started out a bit faster. I really liked how everything led up to the end and it all made sense (in my opinion. Other people might think differently) and there was a lot of twists which was pretty cool. At times I thought I knew exactly what was going to happen next, but it turned out that I was totally wrong! I sort of like that (it was unexpected). The three words I have to describe this book are: Bloody, space, bug. Yeah, it's interesting...
Memorable or Forgettable: It's one of those books that I definitely won't forget, but that's only because there was a giant freaky bloody space worm! Yes, you have to read the book to find out...
Cover: I was interested in the cover mostly because there was a girl standing in front of a giant worm that was exploding out of the ground. The funny thing was that the girl just stood there like it was totally normal to see a giant worm exploding out of the ground! The title kind of stood out to me to for some reason. Really it just looked interesting. The cover definitely represents the book.
