BOOK REVIEW # 2015-153 - THE 7 POLICEMEN AND THE TROUBLESOME TIME MACHINE

I received a mobi.file copy of this book from the author’s recent giveaway on LibraryThing and the following is my honest opinion.

Since I DON’T accept requests to review books, I’m always entering giveaways to get most of the books I review, the rest are books which I personally obtain on my own.

Instead of the adult books I usually wind up reading/reviewed I love being able to sit back and read something which is intended for a much younger audience, which is why I consider myself fortunate to have snagged one of the copies being offered by the author.

The storyline the authors have created in the pages of this book is a wonderful conglomeration of several genres; science fiction, fantasy, suspense with just the right amount of adventure and action to grab and keep the attention of any boy who reads this book. Girls can also get a laugh as they read what can happen to a boy who’s always full of mischief.

Just the way some cartoon shows although they’ve been for children had humor which basically only the adults could understand, this book had some of this same kind of humor. I’m specifically thinking of the Rocky and Bullwinkle show of 1959 to the early 1960’s with characters like Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale, and the end of each episode.

This group of 7 Policemen is more than the regular ones we see on the streets each day. They appear to be more like the A-Team, with each member possessing a certain skill which when combined make for a formidable force, especially when they’re specializing in the wild, the weird, the wondrous & the inexplicable.

For allowing my inner child to come to the surface as I read this book, I’m giving it 5 STARS.
