Command & Conquer (Tm): Tiberium Wars

Although the reviews for this book weren't that good from other people, I realized that since this book was written for a tweener I was willing to take a chance and buy it for my son. He loved it!!! He is not a big fan of reading books, but this book captivated him from the beginning. When I asked him what he liked about it the most he said that it was a Command and Conquer book....period. I watched him carry this book around throughout his Christmas vacation in case he was given an opportunity to read it. A book this size would have normally taken him a month of reading only 30 minutes a night a couple days a week. However, he finished this book in about a week and a half. He also said he wanted to find out if there were any more books like this available. Sure, it might not win a prize for best written or anything, but if it can hold the attention of a 12 year old "non-book reading" boy and make him excited to read another, then I say it is a GREAT BUY.
