One Hundred Percent Lunar Boy

What we view as a full moon would be equivalent to high noon on the near side.

One Hundred Percent Lunar Boy by Stephen Tunney

Regardless of my nitpicking I obviously enjoyed the book and hope that Tunney is working on a follow-up. I'd like to see where he take it. May 25, John Hall rated it it was amazing. While not quite as good as Flan, this is an amazing, inventive, beautiful book. I've known Stephen for a long long time, so I'm biased, but what gets me about both of his books is that he takes on the impossible task of expressing the way people feel, especially the apocalyptic avalanche of feelings that children and adolescents experience. This book took me back to being fourteen or fifteen, when love seemed impossible for a million reasons.

Then of course there's the brilliance of Stephen's im While not quite as good as Flan, this is an amazing, inventive, beautiful book. Then of course there's the brilliance of Stephen's imagined worlds. He creates realistic futures that are wondrous and horrifying and real and relevant. Read this book and Flan! This book was really different than anything else I've read. The language is sometimes hard to read because there are a lot of made up words and invented idiomatic expressions.

It suits the nature and setting of the book, but sometimes slows down understanding and just gets in the way. The ending necessitates a sequel, so I'm hoping to see a second book coming soon, but we'll see. The biggest downfall to this book were the grammar errors that littered it.

Whoever edited this book must have been on little sleep. I was catching mistakes on almost every page. Jan 21, Diana rated it really liked it. The story was original, but the editing was poor. There were many grammatical errors that irked me. The slang was a little strange and kind of dumb, but since the story is set years in the future, I suppose Tunney had to almost create a new language. The images were vivid and set my imagination running wild. It's the first in a trilogy. I would definitely read the next one. Apr 30, Gwen rated it really liked it.

I loved the world Tunney set up here, and issues of what it means to be One Hundred Percent in the past and present. The prose captured my attention right way, and I loved the characters and idea of a neon lit Moon.

I also dearly loved Clellen's character development, as brief as it was at the end. A bit disappointed by the end, it was too soon and too abrupt, but loved the journey up to it. Where is the sequel? The book was great. I read it in my teens and I am still waiting for a sequel.

It's a really good book to read for sci first and suspense and just a bit of romance but its a good amount. The humor is great and the mysteries are admiring. I can't wait to see more twists in the next book. May 17, Jacque Sherbak rated it it was amazing. Excellent YA steampunk fiction novel.

What is Kobo Super Points?

The author's style and imagination was refreshingly new to me. I am thrilled he is working on the second in the trilogy and over the moon: As other reviewers noted, there are a number of grammatical errors which should have been caught, reviewed, and corrected by a publishing editor. Mar 21, Gail rated it did not like it Shelves: Just not my cop of tea.

Did not ring true and never connected with the character.

Maybe in the future it will hook me. I love the Lunar setting and it really does allow you to understand what it would be like to live there but this is very much used as an allegory rather than a main plot device and the technology and far future timeline is nicely underplayed, giving a very literary feel to the novel very much in the way of Philip K Dick. Flashbacks are used to fill the reader in on the character's backstory and this is handled very well, at one point I was so absorbed with learning of Heironymus past I actually forgot that this wasn't the main thread, this is not something that happens to me very often and gives some indication of the power of the author's story telling.

The plot is very much character driven and the author's ability to weave together intelligent, interesting and lively characters is quite inventive and thoroughly immersive. The novel does have a few rough edges as you would expect from a debut - I lost count of how many times the hummingbirds are explained as being the size of a dog but these small niggles are few and far between and if anything help to highlight the books many positive attributes.

The first book in a trilogy, One Hundred Percent Lunar Boy has quite the cliff-hanger ending which made me really hunger for the next in the series. It's an intelligent, thought provoking and wildly original novel and deserves it's place amongst sci fi's greats.
