Summary: Best Book Ever
Comment: This is the best book I have ever read. I have read it 3 times so far, and I do not think I am finished. It's such a great story! Monica Hughes does an excellent job of grabbing the readers attention and not letting go until the book is over. If you have not read this book yet, read it today! This will probably always be a favorite of mine. It doesn't matter if your 10 or 100 years old, you're going to love this book! From the front cover to the back, there is never a dull moment! So sorry for the one person who gave it 2 stars. Yes, some of it is unrealistic, that's called FICTION! I wish I could give it 10 stars, it's just excellent, read itand you'll see what I mean!

Summary: "Invitation to the Game" is inspiring, unforgettable
Comment: This is the first time I have thought about "Invitation" since I read it, almost seven years ago. I remember that I read it for a schoolwide reading-awareness fair. My middle school held the fair each year, and everybody was required to read two books over the course of a month. Each grade (7th and 8th) had a seperate list of books they could choose from, all of which were supplied by the library. Teachers and librarians recommended that we pick a book from the appropriate grade's list, though doing so was not recquired. "Invitation" was on the 8th grade list, but I remember thinking to myself how I just HAD to read that one.
In short, I did read the book, and it left me breathless. I don't think I have ever finished a book in a quicker time. We had 2 weeks to finish and take the "proof" quiz, and I think I must have done both before the first was out.
Now, 7 years later I am 20 and find myself typing this review on my computer in a little room of Phillips Hall, Michigan State University. I'm in my second year, and am starting my first novel. It was kind of strange, really. As I sat here at my desk citing a story line in my head, the thought of "Invitation" suddenly occured, and without any sort of pre-meditated planning on thinking about it. It just happened.
It took a few moments, but I soon realized what had happened. The book I am planning has a small trace of commonality with "Invitation", and the thoughts of my own soon-to-be novel triggered the memory of it. I found this occurence to be utterly amazing, since I had never remembered anything before without first thinking about it. "Invitation" must have really left a lasting impression on me, even if it took me seven years to realize it.
It's a funny thing - how something as simple as a collection of words can stay with somebody so long and come back to them when they least expect it. As a person who is new to novel-writing, I hope that my books will have the same effect in the years to come.

Summary: How can anyone say this is good?
Comment: This is the worst book that I have ever read. The author uses very few feelings and images throughout the book. The book is very boring and so predictable. There are so many better books out there to read that don't have you falling asleep while reading them. If you want a good science fiction book read anything-but this book.
