I hate to say anything negative about this book/series, but I must. It was not a good read for me. An 18 year old teen who comes to my library and is a huge reader, said to me one day, "Can I show you a book that I thought was just terrible?" You guessed it - Octivian Nothing.

When I saw the next book was coming out, I checked my library stats for the number of circs for the first book and it was only 4, so I decided not to purchase the 2nd book.

We are a small rural library serving about 6,000 people and belong to a great library cooperative where teens if interested in this next book, I could suggest them to interloan it.

I have had the pleasure of hearing M.T. Anderson speak and he is a fantastic guy, but somehow this book didn't connect with me or the teens in my library.
