Fever Crumb Audiobook

" This was interesting and fast-paced, Fever was a fun character, though I'd love to have gotten a little more into the back story of some of the other characters. There were things that bothered me (poor Kit), but all in all it was fun to read and intrigued me enough to want to read his other Fever books and probably his Mortal Engines books as well. "

" Excellent YA steampunk. "

" did not like the end =( "

" I liked that this book takes place in the future after the big "downsizing" of the population. Archeologists discover old tech (present day stuff) and try to figure out how to use it. "

" Wonderful prequel to the Hungry City Chronicles. Honestly, I've forgotten so much about the other books that I'm certain there's a lot more I could have caught while reading this one. Terrific for fans of the other books, post-apocalyptic sci-fi, and adventure. "

" Reeves creates an interesting future society that is both frightening and intriguing. A great read! "

" I wasn't able to get into this book. It just didn't catch my interest. It seemed a little weird, right from the beginning. "

" Fever Crumb is a great character. This was my first Philip Reeve book and I enjoyed it a lot. I usually don't go in for this type of futuristic world books, but I really liked the character and Philip did a great job on the audio. "

" It was really hard to read and get into. I will not be reading the others in the series. "

" First time I have ever read "steam punk" genre. I loved the characters and the world they lived in was very vivid and easy to imagine. Highly recommended and looking forward to reading the next in the series. Listened on audiobook from library. "

" This book had an intriguing storyline, but it left much unexplained. At the end of the book, I wasn't sure how I felt about the main character, but it did make me want to read the sequel. "

" This was almost a 4 but too much complicated technical fantasy stuff that I wasn't interested enough to follow. But aha! I see it is the prequel to the hungry city series, whose first book was great. "

" "Fever Crumb" is a great story with a satisfying ending. At times the plot is a bit hard to follow, but all in all it's an awesome book! "

" I was kinda surprised by how much I liked this book. I will read the rest of the Pre-stuff and start on the main story after. "

" meh. I thought it was pretty boring. "

" This book had a slow start, but got better toward the end. Not a bad book, I would recommend it to others for a quick, fun, easy read. "

" I found Fever Fascinating, and I loved the world it was set it. So cool, but not terribly rational! Can't wait for some more Fever Books "

" I thought that this book was a hoot. There are many sly references to todays literary giants, authors as well as characters in books. A satirical look at society that pokes fun at us all. I can't wait to read, A Web of Air, the next book in this new series. "

" I don't usually like prequels, but I didn't even realize this was one. It's a beautifully crafted addition to Reeve's Hungry City Chronicles. His portrayal of a future dystopian earth is complex and well imagined. The characters are also multi-layered. I actually think this is the best of them all. "

" Read by the author! "

" I liked it as well as I could, considering I find dystopian future a painful genre to read. I did like his take London place name distortions. ALA ALSC Notable 2011 "

" Well-written post-apocalyptic fiction. I really enjoyed Reeve's take on London hundreds (thousands?) of years after "The Downsizing". "

" I really wanted to love this book. It has so much going for it: a well developed, detailed futuristic London setting; complicated characters; and steampunk machines galore. However, something just never clicked for me. I just never really felt committed to the story or to Fever Crumb's character. "

" Eh... I got maybe 100 pages into this and got bored. I will finish it later on and give it another try. "

" I'm currently reading this book, but so far I think it's really well written. The main character, Fever Crumb, is well crafted and has just the right amount of conflict within her (literally) to create a really cool tale. "

" I really liked this book. The writing was addictive and the characters were intriguing. :) "

" meh. I thought it was pretty boring. "
