This book is a story about Jennifer Hero trying to restart her life. She is from another century, far in the future and she went back to another century to start over, or to find herself. Basically.
What I like most about this book is the main character, Jennifer Hero. She has high intelligence and she has high ranks in the future but she is also very humanlike. She loves her friends and comrades so much that it emotionally affects her whole journey. She is like every other hero in a book, determined and very skillful but what makes her special in my case is that she has emotions. She even uses that emotion to focus on her goal. For some reason, she is the character I've been looking for in a book. She is strong and has emotions. At the end of the book, I can feel she is happier (although I don't know how to explain this)
In the 30th Century: Escape, every character in this story has their own personality. Such Professor Marty who is very determined and dashing, or Lucy who is timid and shy but very hardworking. There are different feels for each character and how the author brings them out in their own way is admirable.
The thing I dislike most about this book is sometimes it makes reference to the illustrations and the illustrations would be a few pages behind. It is nice to have a visual help but I love it more if it doesn't exist. Sometimes the illustrations are not needed, and at some point would cut the sentences.
The writing, however, is nice, which I don't understand why the need for illustration references. There are some lines that are a bit confusing but how the story was told is very easy. Although at some point, the plot feels a bit fast. Yet, the writing is very straightforward so it doesn't feel that wrong. Mark Kingston Levin surely knows how to construct a plot with simple lines.
I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. The characters are what I love most about this book, they can definitely be someone readers can sympathize with, can relate to, and at the same time, be the character we inspired to be. In a way, I fell in love with the characters. However, although the plot is smoothly developing, there are some lines and parts which are quite confusing. This book is really for general readers and I highly recommend this book for readers that enjoy light reading.
