PLAYING FOR KEEPS MUR LAFFERTY DOWNLOAD

This in itself is not entirely bad. The super villains have their own interesting powers--control over machine I loved the idea of this book--people with less than spectacular powers getting caught up in a super heroes vs. How and why Keepsy comes to the attention of the First Wavers makes perfect sense, as is her refusal to play ball with either side. This book needs a sequel There are a few misses, like a lack of description. The resentment the Third Wavers feel for the heroes adds another dimension to the story, and as the plot unfolds and the characters are drawn further into the tangle of lies and deception that lay beneath the superhero regime, one gets a peek at the political and sociological elements that run beneath the surface of the novel. On the one hand, I kind of loved that it never slowed down, and on the other hand, I wanted some room to breathe.

It was okay but still it felt like something was missing. If you wish to reach me, contact information is available at my website. Or that's what they've been told. But that was several years ago so I figured I'd give it a read now that I'm an adult and see how it seems to mue.

That said, the book is not flawless. She sets the story in a fictional place where superheroes and and super villains are a part of every day lives. Nice message that overlooked people can have a bigger affect on things than even they realize. Aug 01, Adam Oster rated it really liked it.

Now, I know what mug thinking: But when the villain Doodad slips Keepsie a mysterious metal sphere, the Third Wavers become caught in the middle of a battle between the egotistical heroes and the manipulative villains. Fun and great story with superheroes and villains, and those in the middle.

I wasn't rooting for anyone, they were all fake. This story could be a play, since it feels like they stay in one spot the entire novel.

Mark all un played ….

I felt that the characters and the reader never really got that time to catch their breaths and process the world and events that were happening.

Hmmm, makes one wonder on who's the 'hero' and why. The use of desires and manipulation to get what they want, or try stealing. It makes her actions and motives much more interesting and gives her both an insider's and outsider's perspective of the superhero world. I'd really be more inclined to call it 3. This was probably the first superhero story I read that wasn't in comic form. For me, it really rambled laffertt most of the book and I read it just to get playingg over with.
