Spiders by Tom Hoyle
3.0
same old same old-but a maybe little better.
The only person i thought had their wits on was abbie.The story of how she became a part of the cult-that makes sense.
It was so obvious that all these people would survive that was boring.I didn't even bat an eye to them being in trouble and in sticky situations."Tom" really tried selling the reason why they couldn't go to the police or anybody else.Also where are their parents during all of this,i think it was asa's parents that called him back during something but other that not a sound.One of the redeeming parts was when"Tom"included more of adam's friends in all this it made it somewhat more interesting-i think.
Also why is the book called Spiders?Abbie's fear is spiders and for adam its bats.(Bats-are you for real that is so random.)BUT STILL WHY IS THE BOOK CALLED SPIDERS??
The reason i give this book 3 stars is not because i love it but because i don't hate it.This book is okay but also a lil better than okay.
The plot was the same(cults trying to get adam because he was born in the *new millenium*)
In the first book the cult wanted to kill anybody born in the new millenium before he/she turned 14-because then they would be an adult(huh?).13 kids were born during that time and 12 were already killed leaving adam the last person to be born in the new millenium 13/14 years ago.So obviously this cult is out to get adam-perfect!!!
That happens,now in the second book a second cult is out to get adam because they need the best 13 kids(under 16 this time i think) to travel with them to the "golden planet" and then rule over them there.These kids are the best at what they do like playing the piano,math and whatnot.

Spoiler
isn't abbie's father undercover so how did they deal with that?Also most hated character Oliver-such.an.arse.It was so obvious that all these people would survive that was boring.I didn't even bat an eye to them being in trouble and in sticky situations.
