The oddest thing about this book, to me, was that it seemed to be written from a child's perspective. The world, the adults, everything seemed to be written and described in the way a child might see them rather than in a realistic way. It is almost as if the book, or most of it, was written by a child, perhaps with some clean-up afterwards.
It is also far more horrible than what I typically read. There weren't really any graphic, gruesome d...more

I won this on First Reads.
I take reading and reviewing books very seriously. Due to deaths and major family health issues, I have not been able to dedicate time or energy towards reading or reviewing. I do not want to do either half heartedly, so I will have to post this for now and will come back when things slow down. At that time I will update this with a proper review.

My Thoughts:
Sectors by Brick Marlin is one of those books that are really hard to tell people about. I feel like, if I go into very much detail, I’m going to be “spoiling” a lot of the experience for you. I don’t want to do that, so if I do, Im sorry!
This book starts out as a haunted house story. Two boys are told to stay away from this creepy house in town, and of course.. boys being boys… they sneak off and go. Strange things happen, and at one poin...more

(Review of a book supplied for free by the author.)
Since the main protagonist is an eleven-year-old, this book is aimed at the upper primary/lower secondary (or middle school) age range and so it is a fast and easy read (if it wasn't for various interruptions, I would've finished this in one sitting instead of three). It is quite entertaining, often surreal and, at times, scary. The book starts out as a rather conventional haunted house story with some creepy developments that arise when the pro...more

Sectors kept me reading until I finished it, as I kept wanting to know what was going to happen next. The book is full of interesting characters, many that may not be quite human. The main character, Gilbert is like a typical 11 year-old boy who doesn't listen to his parents and ends up in this alternate universe. Overall, it is very imaginative, reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland with a science fiction/horror twist to it. I look forward to a sequel!
Finally had a chance to sit down and read my newest Brick Marlin work. While not as adult themed as the last books of his I've read (Saturated and Crimson & The Darkened Image) Sectors is a great tale reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland but with a wild science fiction/ horror bend to it. Bricks work is very imaginative and I recommend it to anyone that's looking for a fresh journey into a totally new universe.
Looking forward to a follow-up!

Brick Marlin's imagination is totally whacked. This book snagged my attention in the first chapter and refused to let go. I will never look at clowns the same way again. If I had to sum up the book in one sentence it would be "Tom Sawyer meets Stephen King." I'm greatly looking forward to reading Mr. Marlin's other works.
This was a very different story which is why I liked it so much. I didn't realize until I finished that it was part of a series so no I am looking forward to reading more of the story. I just hope he continues down the path he has already started.
Great read .Fast paced plot and very imaginative.Could not put it down until it was done.The main characters are children; and it really gives you the perspective as a child sees his world. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Different but interesting, really enjoyed it!
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Took me on a journey I wasn't expecting. Thought it was going to be your typical haunted house story and then..... WHAM!!!!! Met people and went to places I couldn't even imagine until I read this book. Thank you Brick. Look forward to reading my copies of Blue Lights in a Jar and Shadow Out of the Sky.
Cannibals,werewolves,a boy named Gilbert and the evil Baron. Throw in a few robots, vampires and zombies. Yep, that about sums up this book! Very different, very interesting. I am looking forward to reading more books by Mr. Marlin.
