Ilustration During Books Pillage (Pillage #1)

Reviewed by Tasha for TeensReadToo.com Fifteen-year-old Beck Phillips' favorite activity is causing trouble - and his latest scheme is setting off an angry hive of bees through the air ducts in his current school. Maybe this inclination for trouble comes from moving around a lot, a non-existent father, or the fact that his mother is very ill. When his mom dies, Beck is uprooted from his life once again and is sent to live with his wealthy but estranged uncle out in the mountainous country. On the train ride to Kingsplot, Beck meets Kate, who can't even be bothered to give Beck the time of day, even though he thinks that she is the prettiest thing going. Little do they both know that they are going to see much more of each other, even though it's not at the top of Kate's priority list. When Beck arrives at his uncle's mansion, an air of mystery greets him. While the house has seven floors and hundreds of rooms, Beck, along with his uncle and a minimal house staff, are the only occupants. What's even stranger is that Beck's uncle only comes out of his domed room once in a blue moon. As time progresses, Beck learns dark secrets about his lost family. Secrets that include buried basements, forbidden gardens, an ancient book of unusual family history, and most surprising of all...dragons! Beck's life has changed forever, and there is no turning back now. Along with some newfound friends, Beck is about to embark on his biggest adventure yet. PILLAGE was an absolutely amazing book. It takes you on an adventure that is beyond your wildest dreams. From the very first chapter, the author's humor came out and I found myself laughing along with Beck's schemes. There was also a great suspense factor. This is one of those books that I just couldn't put down. I eagerly anticipated each turn of events (of which there were many) and was shocked at many things, especially the ending, which gave the term "plot twist" a whole new meaning. The plot itself was also very interesting. Incorporating dragons into any modern-day book is always very intriguing, and the author had a knack for making everything seem real. And even though the book was set in modern day, it felt like it was set long ago. The whole story seemed to have this vintage fairy-tale feel to it, which I just devoured. Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it to both young and old readers looking for a great read. After reading PILLAGE I have definitely fallen in love with the fantasy genre and definitely look forward to more of Obert Skye's books.

Assess About Books Pillage (Pillage #1)

Obert Skye describes things in the book very well. He created detailed pictures in my head. The setting is a big mansion that the main character describes as "somewhere between a mall and a castle. There were more chimneys and windows than any chimney or window store could possibly stock. I counted at least seven floors." The main character is a boy named Beck Phillips who goes to live with his uncle because his mother dies. The story makes me feel kind of cold because of all of the mist and fog

A very quick, but enjoyable read. I immediately handed it to my 12-year old after I was done because I knew she'd love it (I was right).I liked the idea here, and thought that Obert delivered it well.Setting: A dreary place in some remote town. It's cloudy and dark a lot, so there is not much scenery-describing text.Plot: A boy is trying to figure out why his uncle is crazy and what is up with the garden. He also gets some lessons in the dangers of unchecked curiosity.Conflict: There are some

I read the first Leven Thumps book and didn't care for it. I had heard that Obert Skye's ability to write had improved with each book he has written, and therefore I decided to give him another shot.First, I can't say this book is horrible. I realize it's youth fiction, and from a young person's standpoint this book has the potential to be fun and interesting. However, I can't say that this book wowed me either. It's short, and it cruises along at a decent pace, but overall there's a certain

2 starsFor the most part, this book was boring to me. From the picture on the cover, I expected it to be a dragon adventure. Well, the first sign of dragons was on page 207. Thats the two thirds mark, yall. Definitely not soon enough for my taste. Another reason why it was boring was because the lead was a horrendous boy who bullied others so he wouldnt get bullied himself. I never did figure out why I was supposed to be rooting for the jerk. He showed a completely different personality in the

I thought this book was great. I read it with my kids (ages 12, 10, 7) and they all really enjoyed it. We were all a bit bumbed when it actually ended and there was no set up for a sequel. I would recommend this to anyone who likes the world of dragons and fantasy.

I thought this was a great YA book.

Even for a fantasy book, this one had some gaps. And while I like a happy ending, things tied up a little too neatly at the end to really seem plausable. Also, a few too many "Because I'm an Angry Teenager, Dang-it!" cliches for my taste... this one always seemed on the cusp of getting interesting, but when we got to the big climax, the author seemed to have forgotten it was supposed to be exciting. It wasn't out-right BAD, but I promise within six months I will forget I ever read it.
