I love the abstract characteristic in this book’s diolouge. It uses different slang and it’s fun to seriously try and figure out how they got the new words. I now often he’ll use the term ‘zoomed’ instead of crazy. Like when he’d talking about Wryter. Another part of this special diolouge is the way they spell things. Like Wryter’s name. It’s spelt odd because it’s supposed to be writer, seeing as though he was writing the last book in the universe. (Thus the name)
I’ve also come to love the way that Spaz, the book’s main character, has his problem. In a world were people shove needles into their brains there is a boy who can’t. Spaz is epileptic, meaning he can’t shove probes into his head. The probes are like a drug. They are rotting the brains of every leader (Latch boss) in the Urb and causing lethal chaos. They’ve actually spelt the death of a whole latch, untill Spaz and Wryter come along that is. Because in the whole huge adventure of The Last Book in the Universe Spaz is the last beacon of hope. He is the only thing that may fix, at least in the very distant future, the devastation of the Urb.
That and you have to love the whole super dramatic plot description. In a world that has been crushed by devastating natural disasters; one that is feeling the dark, horrible side of technology, one that has lost all connection of the past and any will to change the horrid atmosphere back to what it was there is one last hope. One boy with a defect that he believes has ruined his life. He will be the savior of what has become of our destroyed Earth. He is our last hope. *End dramatic rant*
I’m quite happy with this.
Should I continue writing?
