Thoughts: I loved this book because it was amazingly creative. I loved how the author, Anderson Atlas, created a situation that forced the main character into many schemes in this book. I also loved how he created so many incredible characters that all are different but all connect in the end. Another thing I loved about Strange Lands is that its story line is like a bunch of tree branches all over the place, but the branches all are connected to the same trunk. Overall, I loved this amazing and creative book and I think it should get a high five.
