Revolution 19 by Gregg Rosenblum
2.0
“Revolution 19” By Gregg Rosenblum is a Young Adult science fiction novel. Nick, Kevin, and Cass live in the forest with their adoptive parents hiding from the robots that have overthrown the human race. Their lives are uneventful until a fatal mistake betrays the position of their colony. The siblings escape the attack, and travel out of the safety of the forest, to the robot controlled city. Their hope is to possibly save their parents who have been taken captive by the robots. The siblings meet the underground resistance of the city and together they get back in contact with their parents. Their parents volunteer to stay behind and support the resistance, and the siblings escape the city and return to the woods on a lead that could give them the key to overthrowing the robot overlords.
Content Warnings:
• Torture & Execution
I wasn’t really enthralled with this book, I read it since my brother said it an okay book, and I think that about sums it up, “okay”. The characters were pretty typical and so was the story, nothing really new was added to the usual “robot overlord plot”. I’m not really interested in continuing the series, it was just too predictable. The chapters were far too short, and the plot was felt scatterbrained and wouldn’t linger on anything long enough. They sneak into a school, pretending to be brainwashed citizens, which could create some interesting scenes, but all too suddenly they are chased out of that plot point too. The book was entertaining enough, but a pretty mediocre read compared to other YA science fiction.
