What Parents Need to Know
About Firestorm: The Caretaker Trilogy: Book 1
Parents need to know that there's some gritty violence here, including the main character, a teen, being held down to have his pinky finger cut off with a knife. There's lots of fighting, both with and without weapons, and injuries and deaths. Also expect some sexual references, though nothing explicit beyond kissing. Some teens may also be disturbed by the graphic description of deep water reef trawling.

Not enough action, Too corny, Too much sex, to much description of sex
It was corny, it is not for 12-16, its not for anyone. The author carefully slips in sex, immoral thoughts, etc..its trash, go read Artemis Fowl, Percy Jackson and the Olmypians, Eragon, or something else. ITS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME!

Very good....
I rather liked the choppy sentences. I did think the book was really sad. Although I enjoyed reading it, I'm not sure whether I would read it again. It's excellently written and it's very interesting.

I really enjoyed this book. I don't care what people say about the short, choppy sentences, I liked how it set the pace. There was violence, but nothing too bad. I wouldn't recommend this book to younger kids, but I would recommend it to anyone 11 or 12 and up.

This is an amazing book.
I'd just like to say..whoever rated this first made it sound like the Book of Satan or something, and they were wrong. It was a great book. There is a bit of sex, but it's not lude. Violence is present, of course - it IS a book about preventing the end of the world, after all. I'd say wait until you're at least about nine or ten to read it, but after that it's really up to maturity levels.
