The Octopus Effect by Michael Reisman

The Octopus Effect, written by Michael Reisman, was a good and adventurous book. I really enjoyed the action and excitement as Simon Bloom, the main character, discovered new abilities, while also finding new challenges. The book is based around the fictional Knowledge Union, a group that rules and controls the universe. However, lately, things have gotten out of hand. After defeating Sirabetta, an evil woman who wants to take over the Knowledge Union, they must defeat her again, against an even more powerful Sirabetta. To find out what happens, you should read this action-packed book.

In my opinion, this was a great book that you should almost definitely read. The Octopus Effect was a great book filled with excitement and suspense. It always kept you turning page after page to find out what happens in the next part of the book. The main characters were always in some adventure or another. Also, in some parts it was told in first person, while in others, it was told in third person, which mixed things up. However, the only drawback to this book is that it is confusing at times. It is sometimes hard to follow all the different things happening. Otherwise, this is a very good book that I suggest you read.
