Emmet Watts is a lonely teenage kid who has no friends and
when he miraculously does make one they are shunned by the
rest of the school and leave Emmet who everyone thinks of
as a freak. He has been bullied constantly his whole time
at school for being a "freak" but Emmet doesn't know why
people feel this way since he as always tried to
act "normal" to try to fit in. After another day of this
sort of torture at school he gets attacked by an evil
little man named Braedan. Luckily Emmet is saved by a
group of people who say they are part of the Society, that
fight people like Braedan who they call the Dark Ones.
Emmet is taken by the people of the Society and comes to
realize he plays a bigger part in the fight against the
Dark Ones that anyone could possibly imagine, while making
a new life as part of the Society.
Opinion:
The book was okay. Wasn't the best book I've read but the
last half was better. The storyline started slow but once
you got to the middle things picked up when the actual
battle with Braedan and his minions started. This would be
a book that someone should make a movie out of because it
has the right amount of different elements like action and
romance. The author could have improved the story mostly
by making it shorter and maybe chopping a few things in
the first half out where nothing that important to the
plot was happening. All in all it was a good book to read
that I would read again and would most definitely read the
sequels to find out what happens to all the characters in
their next adventures.
