The Chaos Code by Justin Richards starts off with a lot of promise. There's the teen being bounced between his self-absorbed techie Mom and eccentric archeologist Dad. It's fast-paced, with multiple changes of cool locations, kidnappings, ancient artifacts, hi-tech code breaking and more. But ultimately, it never really comes into focus. Some of the story elements I found most intriguing wind up as red herrings, and some of the technical elements just feel bogus. For some, the pacing and adventure might be enough, but for me, I want my adventures to have at least a hint of plausibility.

I think this is a great way to get students who read a piece of literature to provide a reader review as well as getting your critical analysis of the book or article.
