__** Fever Crumb **__ By: Philip Reeve media type="custom" key="7798645" width="90" height="90"

Philip Reeve caught my full attention as I read Fever Crumb. Though at first I thought the title was a little weird and thought that whoever wrote it was crazy, but as I read the book I realized I was wrong. The book was amazing. The beginning was slow but it just builds up the suspense, each page was getting ready for the big part of the book.

Me personally, I think that the book was held in another world totally but it is on earth I suppose. There was a lot of high technology they were very violent, people would be able to come back to life. I love how the author writes, he has every detail in the right spot (now that's hard to do). He is very serious in his writing, but there are parts that I do laugh at. Come to think about it I laughed a lot in the book, or not.

Fever was one of the main characters, she was getting memories that were not her own. I did not really like her, her beliefs and all. For example her beliefs are that everyone should shave their heads, so that bugs cannot nest in your hair. I mean if you wash your hair you should be ok, but she does not think that way. Kit was a man who had Fever in his house to open someone’s workshop. I actually liked this character, normally I don't like most of the characters in the books I read.

The whole story took place in about the same area. A "normal" little town that is uneventful until Fever comes to Kit's house. The town is very similar to this world, but the only thing that is different is the history of the town. It used to be controlled by a small group of tall mighty weird freckled humans, everyone was afraid of their own kind. The freckled people slowly started to go away from the small town. The place that Fever was from was a big building a little ways from the town. I can literally see how it would look if I was there. If I was standing in front of the building I would see the small details.  Once I saw the title I knew that it would be a book for me to read and enjoy. The beginning told me that the book would be a long and terrifying experience for the reader. There were times when I was forced to stop and do my homework, instruments, and just plain sleep. This book I finished in about three days. Many parts were action filled and were hard to put down so I read into the night until my eyes could barely hold up. There was this part that I could not put down, it was a very sad part when they were on a hot air balloon that went to a specific spot. When they landed they had many problems with the people that they were supposed to work together with. They had a way of making people alive but forget everything. They made someone come alive and he had a very soft part that went to little children, because he had children before he died. I think that I could go on forever with this but I only have so much time to tell you everything.

I thought that the cover was very weird, a bald girl wearing a hooded cloak. It was defiantly going to be about cancer or some kind of disease, but it was not even close to that. This book was amazing, every page brought up new expenses that made me press on and not sleep eight hours a day. Some of the even better books that I've read have characters that are similar with Fever Crumb. I would defiantly recommend this book to anyone who likes and dislikes reading.
