This is a great series for Young Adults, Sports and Sci-Fi fans. Once again we see Quentin Barnes face difficulties on and off the field in his effort to make the Krakens the best Football team in the galaxy. It starts off with a tremendous payoff to the cliffhanger present by the All-Pro, and continues driving you forward till a satisfying payoff that leaves you wanting more.If you've already read any of the books in the GFL series I know I don't have to persuade you on how great this book is. If you haven't read any yet I recommend starting with the Rookie and getting hooked like the rest of us.
Scott Sigler continues to out do himself. This book not only starts off where the cliffhanger of the last book so mercilessly dropped us off, it keeps the pace going through out the book. This unique setting has been so fleshed out that as a reader I feel really connected to the characters. Sigler does a great job of getting you emotionally involved with the characters but he is not afraid to kick you in the teeth when the story calls for it, which keeps a very high level of "oh crap! whats going to happen next?" I can't wait for the next one in the series.
I've really liked all of the GFL series so far (and whole heartily recommend all of them). This one, however, takes the cake. The ending is so incredibly well written, structured, presented and paced. It's not that the story is complex or it takes a complicated 720 degree turn or anything outrageous or shocking. It's just so well presented and written.To be more general for those interested in reading this, the whole books is what I consider a light read. Not difficult to read and very engaging, rich story. I love it. I always have trouble putting the GFL series down and this installment is no exception.Reviewers note: It doesn't matter if you enjoy or understand sports or not. It's presented in a way so that if you like the sport, it has nuances and details. But if you are not a big follower of football, it includes the needed info to fill in the gaps. I am of the latter group.
I have enjoyed all the GFL books since they started, but the MVP is easily the best of them all. The world building of the GFL Universe is some of the best I have read, and Sigler has used the volume of the series to really flesh out the characters. Four books in, and he is still capable of pulling off surprises, deftly weaving emotional conflict in with sweeping space opera and thrilling on-field sports action. If you know a young person who avoids reading and isn't interested in wizards, send them to Mr. Sigler to follow the adventures of the Ionath Krakens.GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KRAAAAAAAAAAAAKENNNNNNNNNNNNNS!
The MVP is another great book in the GFL series. I can't really put my finger on why I didn't enjoy this one as much as the previous novels, but I didn't and that's the main reason I'm giving four stars rather than five. The books seemed rushed in a few important places, other than that I have no complaints. If you liked the others, you'll like this one, too.
From the very beginning the action is non-stop. I couldn't put it down. Football, space battles, gangsters; this book has it all.I ate lunch at my desk so I could leave an hour early each day this week until I finished the book. I neglected my family and I still haven't bought the parts to fix the toilet yet. I couldn't think of anything else except finishing this book.You will not be disappointed.
Was kind of disappointed in The MVP, I really felt like the end of the book was kind of weak and easy to predict. If you have already read the previous books in the series I would pick it up because it's worth a read however it doesn't live up to the other books.Spoilers Below:After DP was traded I knew that the Kraken's would be playing him in the GB. I felt like the last half of the book was too predictable and it seems to easy to just add drama by making a player get hurt. The games towards the end were quickly summarized and didn't really make me engrossed in the football season like I had in previous books. Instead I knew they would make it to the Galaxy Bowl and I knew they would play the Jupiter Jacks as soon as they made the playoffs. I wish Sigler would change his format for adding drama to the series as far as the football games go. They are just getting very predictable to me.
I have been a fan of Scott Sigler's books for over 3 years now. Most of what i have done is listen to them in audio format. This is fine and is easy to listen to but you have to wait a week to get the next chapter.I don't really like a lot of 'modern' fiction. It usually gets too feminine at some point or whining. This is usually what I attribute to appealing to teens or young adults. Scotts works are not like that.With the NFL ever becoming a 'touch football' league with everyone wearing pink and afraid to hit due to a fine or penalties. This series and this book do not go that way. It is football to the extreme and I love it!If you like good old fashion football you'll love this.I've heard all the other books but I don't think you have to have read them to enjoy this one.Scott has a weekly podcast and has lots of things on podiobooks .com for people to read or listen to as well.Thanks Sott for another job well done!
