Simon Bloom, The Gravity Keeper — Book Reviews
Praise for Simon Bloom, The Gravity Keeper
"Reisman's fast-paced, cinematic first novel, already optioned by Universal Studios, transcends its Spiderwickian premise to move in a different direction: it makes scientific concepts interesting and accessible."
Starred Review
"Told in a series of amusingly titled chapters with occasional commentary by the (unseen, but omniscient) Narrator, this tale plays fast and loose with fantasy and science-fiction conventions with great success. The action is fast-paced; there is lots of slapstick humor; and things do work out in the end. The last chapter even hints of a sequel. Tweens who enjoyed Lemony Snicket will be equally amused by this lightweight but swift and funny read."
"Part 'Harry Potter,' part The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, with a hint of 'Goosebumps' thrown in for good measure, Simon Bloom is a solid choice for the intended audience... With its mixture of humor, fast-paced action, and science fiction, this book will certainly appeal to many readers."
