The Gold Bug Of Farrow Point Book

Rat Trap is a good sequel to the first book in this series. This book is exciting and young readers will have a fun time reading it.

The only problem I had with the book is that I didn't like Rat. Being a genetically engineered rat who can use sign language and can write programs on the computer, I had a little problem with her only solution to issues is to kill something. So, with Dr. Vivexian coming, she decides to kill him using a laser. I thought that this was a too violent of a solution to the problem. Plus, she just isn't a very nice rat. I certainly wouldn't want her as a friend. Other than not liking one of the two main characters, I did sort-off enjoy the book, but not as much as I could have.

Young Readers need to bond with the main characters so they will enjoy the book. But that just doesn't happen in Rat Trap. Otherwise, the reader will end up not caring what happens to these characters. This is just too bad that it happened with this book. Maybe Michael J. Daley will fix this problem if he creates another book involving these characters. I can only hope so as I love a good Science Fiction story.

I rated this book a 7½ out of 10.
