Galax-Arena

Galax-Arena is absolutely a top shelf book. The plot is original and interesting. The characters are believable and their personalities are dripping with love, fear, and hatred. You feel the same anger and emotions as the characters. The ending is unbeatable and positively perfect. This book will not be able to be pryed from your hands...it is a must read!!! Two thumbs up to Gillian Rubenstein, my new favorite author.

the book was such an amazing novel! It is incredible how the author came up with the idea! I recomend it greatly! In my opinion it is higher than 5 stars!

Galax-Arena is definitely one of the most riveting and intriguing storys I have ever read. Usually I don't like science fiction novels, but this one glued my eyeballs to it and wouldn't let me go until I finished. The surprise ending is especially interesting, and the whole story is unpredictable. Every chapter has something unexpected, but the book in whole is just creepy and eerie, and when I was done I itched for another one. BOTTOM LINE: Galax-Arena is the fresh new tale that the redundant book industry needed.

In this intruiging book of the future, Joella, her sister Liane, and her brother Peter are kidnapped, put on a rocket, and taken to a planet named Vexak! Here they are to perform death-defying stunts to entertain alian creatures called Vexa, who enjoy the fear and especially death of children. Along with other children, called the peb, Joella and her siblings are trained as risk-taking performers. But unlike her talented sister and brother, Joella is not an acrobat and is sent off to be a pet for a Vexa. There Joella starts to piece together the mystery of these strange events. This is my absolute favorite book and it is a definite page turner that you will treasure forever!

This is a book about Joella, her sister Liaine, and her brother Peter. They are kidnaped from Earth to preform for the alien race, the Vexa. There they find twenty other children who call themselves the "peb". They are forced to preform death defying gymnastic stunts for the Vexa who thrive off of their fear and espically their death. But Joella is no Gymnast and is sent to be a pet for one of the Vexa. There she discovers the terrible truth about the Vexa. I liked the way that Ms. Rubinstein explained the emotioans and the thoughts of the characters. The only thing that was a bit hard to follow was the language the Peb spoke. Other than that I thought it was a marvolus book and would recomend it to anyone who likes Si-fi or action.
