0.4 - Mike A. Lancaster

Kyle Straker volunteered to be hypnotised at the annual community talent show, expecting the same old lame amateur acts. But when he wakes up, his world will never be the same. Televisions and computers no longer work, but a strange language streams across the screens. Everyone's behaving oddly. It's as if Kyle doesn't exist.

In one of our library sessions, Jane recommended this book. She asked if anyone has read it. I did. And so I raised my hand. What to describe this book? I described it: "The book is creepy, weird. At the end, there's an event where it just gets too creepy."

And it is.

0.4 (Human.4) is a book, in my opinion, is a sci-fi, alien-ish type of book. It is the first book in the series.  

The book is sophisticated, thought-provoking, and almost impossible to put down. The science fiction behind the book is just so haunting, it gives me the chills sometimes when I read it at night.
When I read the book, I thought I wouldn't like the tape recording format in the chapters, but weirdly, I liked it. The tape recording format made the book have an element of mystery.

I can't say anything more for I can't say all the details without spoiling anything, but really, it is a great book to read. Recommend the book to readers who like reading science fiction. :D

(There is a copy of this book in the school library :))
