Gr 5-8 – Simon and his friends Owen and Alysha are back in this sequel to The Gravity Keeper, along with the Narrator and the evil Sirabetta. Sirabetta, now in a 13 year old girl’s body, is angry and more determined than ever to take over all of the Teacher’s Editions. Simon’s new octopus abilities are a cool addition to his growing list of powers, which he’s finding harder to control. Action packed and full of interesting scientific references, this is a fun summer read.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first in the series. It felt like the whole book was just one battle after another, with each battle being overly descriptive about the scientific facts and rules and laws. (It kind of got boring.) Things didn't really pick up until the end, and then of course, the ending has a cliffhanger so that you will read book 3 (coming out in Spring 2010) which of course I will have to do to see how the series ends. AARGH!

Simon Bloom and his friends have a cool job. They are part of the Physics Guild, for which Simon is the co-keeper of the Teacher's Edition of the Book of Physics. They have the ability to use formulas to control the different laws of physics and get to use them to save the world or just have a fun day in the park.

Simon Bloom and friends are back, and so is the enemy they thought they had defeated in Simon Bloom, the Gravity Keeper. Also back is our trusty narrator, Greygor Geryson, whose voice seems stronger in this second "chronicle".
Reisman's narration came off as overly clever in the previous book, but he seems to have hit his writing stride here. This is a good thing, since he packs in a lot of adventure, travel, and battles, as well as new characters and scientific facts.

We loved the first Simon Bloom book, and looked forward to the sequel. Unfortunately it lacks the tension, character development, and plot twists that made the first one such a thrill. My wife remarked that it seemed to her that it was written with screen adaptation in mind, and I agree -- it's not taking advantage of the benefits of the print medium, and seems more superficial than the first book. I hope Michael Reisman gets back on track with a third book.

Ok, I am not going to complain about the explosive action plots in the book. I liked them and this time around, it involved the order of biology (if you like animals and nature). The only downside was that the book had too many characters involved! I kept getting a mixed up every time they fight. Reis forgot about character development on this book. Nonetheless, I'm still looking forward for book three. Hopefully, more on the order of psychology?

While I applaud the growth of book series aimed at boys, this one is not quite as clever as the first one, but maybe more appealing for boys, because there is a fair amount of action.

Maybe a 4, almost a 4. I liked this one better than the first -- the imaginative biodome headquarters for the Biology Guild was cool and I like the interplay with the narrator even more in this one. My 8-year-old gives it 5 stars.

Wildly imaginative! Action, adventure, and huge creativity. Probably better than the first in the series. There was occasional teen attitude that bugged me but the storyline made up for it. I loved all the cool powers that the characters had ( I want an exoskeleton!) and I enjoyed the story being told by the Official Historical Narrator. I hope all works out for the third book to be published!

So far I like this book just as much as the first Simon Bloom. Although the bending of science is more fantasy and science fiction, it makes for a good story and cool action. Not to mention some good humor.

I thought the book was adventurous but the fighting gets repetitive after awhile. The end keeps you wanting to read more.

Another fun Simon Bloom adventure. Simon Bloom once again defends the world from Sirbetta using his powers over the laws of physics. This book is a great tie in with The Physics of Superheroes.
