Mothership

I just finished reading a great science fiction book: Mothership by Tony Chandler.

I really liked this book. I was looking one day for a good e-book I could load into my IPAQ and found this one on fictionwise.com. It was stated to be more of an teen novel and not really that great (according to some reviews on amazon.com). However, I liked the premise and the sample chapter that I read, so I bought the book.

Now I don't recall if I looked at the page count when I started the book or not, but for an e-book then is a fairly large book for me. It was over 2000 pages on the small screen of my IPAQ and even over 400 pages on my PC's screen. This is larger than any other e-book I have read.

It turned out to be a great simple read. No real deep thoughts or strange plot twists. A really simple plot (some have written it is too simplistic) that I found captivating. While others mentioned the transparency of the characters (no real depth) I found the characters enchanting and could empathize with their plight early on. I was caught up in the story and needed to finish it.

I would recommend this book. Don't expect too much, just enjoy the story.

Enjoy.
