It's everything before that sentence, however, that leaves me wondering if I received a correct copy of this book. But the concept of telekinesis in a dystopian world is one I've never come across in young adult, so I give the latter part of that last sentence my seal of approval. Is it well-thought out and explained? No, not at all. I only find one thing in that entire statement above to be true, and that one thing is that Pulse is a creative and unique look at the future. Your pulse will quicken with each and every page of this creative and unique look at the future. Pulse is full of action, heart-pounding adventure, great characters and relationships. Clearly, there is is a difference in opinion considering these people enjoyed Pulse and I, for the most part, didn't, but some of the things these sources come up with about Pulse only leave me baffled, examples below: Warning: Incredibly long review with some minor spoilersĪfter finishing and forming my own - and mostly negative - opinions about Pulse, I'd decided to flip back to the first few pages of my ARC and read some of the advance praise quotes it had gotten so far, and see how vastly those opinions differed from mine, and more importantly if I found them to just be the basic difference in opinions, which I will always accept, or something I find to be completely and utterly false, which I have a not-as-easy time accepting.Īfter going through some of the advance praise for Pulse, I'm disappointed to say that most of the praise falls not into the 'difference in opinion' category, but more of the 'false' category. When I'm not writing or creating a story, I spend my free time supporting literacy campaigns and community organizations, fly fishing, playing basketball and tennis, doing crosswords, watching movies, dabbling in video games, reading (lots), and (more than anything else) spending time with my wife and two daughters.
Check out DARK EDEN to experience this type of cross-platform project. Currently I'm developing a few new-media projects. Here's a fun note.the books have been translated into approximately two dozen languages. I've been fortunate enough to have had some bestselling series work: The Land of Elyon, Atherton, Elliot’s Park, 39 Clues, and Skeleton Creek. I've written young adult and children's books for Scholastic, Little Brown Books For Young Readers and Katherine Tegen Books/ HarperCollins Publishers. After college, I spent a decade living in Portland, Oregon where I worked in advertising, game design, and technology. Salem, Oregon is where I spent my formative years and I graduated from Willamette University. I have been a lifelong writer and storyteller.
