Very horrible book. If the law hear was that children could only live up to 14 years I would go crazy

i really like this story, the cover is kind of misleading though, it describes the robot thingys differently in the book than they look on the cover. but i do like how discriptive the book is, i think that Garth Nix has written quite a good beginning to this book. I do have a question though, how many people live in the submarine?? are all of them over 14? or are some of them younger then 14 and have some of the older people in the book had children with others? if so, that would be a cool twist if one of the people had ROBOT children.

-
ok this book is not as bad as i thought as it wood b! so gold-eye and the othr ppl escaped from the camp in which all the 14 yr olds were murdered. thats right, right?

I don’t get who shade is. First is says there are these tenticals coming from the hatches and then a real person. Its very strange
May 22, 2010 at 6:58 am -

right Will! Yes Shade is a computer from a time before the change!!! He was once a great scientist. All those over the age of 14 are now creatures. Keep reading

i seriously dont get the book. but, i just finished it. its very confusing. i dont exactly get what their goal is… :/ are they just trying to save the ppl from the “meat factory” or whatever? or are they trying to kill the monster thingys? i dont get science fiction in general…!
May 23, 2010 at 3:27 pm -
oh, and for those who are reading, i didn’t finish the WHOLE book, i only finished the part we were supposed to read. i dont want to read on…
May 23, 2010 at 3:33 pm I get that Shade is a computer or whatever, but i dont get what is happening. i think Ferrets are cute! and what the heck are the Myrmadones (i think that’s how you spell it… if not sorry)? and what are Trackers?????? grr this book is very confuzzling -
ya i agree with emma. this book is very confusing, at least right now. All the “ferrets’, “Myrmadones”, and “Trackers” are working together i think, well at least i think that they are all send by the people who have those giant children trap areas. If anyone thinks I am right or wrong tell me please!
May 23, 2010 at 6:34 pm -
and the question about what they are trying to do, i understand that. so yes, they ARE trying to save people from the meat factory because that is where they came from and they know the terrible fate of the people who havemt escaped
May 23, 2010 at 6:36 pm -
Also, their main goal is not to kill all of the creatures but they have to if the creaters are going after them. Also the creatures are sent from the meat house because the people opperating the meat house know that they have escaped, so they are trying to kill them with the creatures before they rescue anyone else
May 23, 2010 at 6:37 pm -
ok, the ferrets are little animal things that eat your flesh… at least that’s what i think i read… i read that they have little red eyes… scary!!!!!! O_o

Is Jemmie a boy or a girl? because it said that they took showers and did other things together.
May 24, 2010 at 9:29 pm -
and how many of the overlord tribes are there? are there just 2 the red diamond and theblue stars?
May 24, 2010 at 9:42 pm -
Ok I keep on trying to figure out what this poem means but IDK
“A score of seven Marched the”
sevens mighty
To fight the foe Take the trees
A battle of bravery Red the raiment
Of diamond death Blue the baneful
A star falls suddenly War is wonI know it has something to do with defeating the overlords I just don’t know how.

i think the poem may have something to do with this
May 24, 2010 at 9:54 pm
these are the groups they travel in
screamers:1
Trackers:3
Ferrets:5
marmadukes:7
wingers:9
so maybe it has something to do with the marmadukes
Have at it “children”
