There’s also no logic in how the perspectives are spaced out – some characters will have multiple chapters in a row, and others will only pop up here and there. At first this was quite confusing to get my head around because not only did you have to remember six different names, you also had to remember their six Zeroes names too, and this took a good few pages for me to really get into. Zeroes is told through the alternating perspectives of the six teenagers. I’m a fan of the tagline on the back of the book
It may not sound like anything that interesting, but it really ended up going places I wasn’t expecting. As I’m writing this plot summary up, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s actually a really difficult book to try and summarise.
But their rescue mission ends up spiraling out of control, as they end up facing even more dangerous criminals. After one of their members accidentally gets involved in a bank robbery, the others are summoned to help get him out of trouble. If you’re not aware, Zeroes is about six teenagers who all have different powers. In fact, I was enjoying it so much at the time that I managed to convince my friend to buy the book and read the book before I had even gotten to the end of it. I was so incredibly wary in picking Zeroes up, but once I finally did I wish I had picked it up sooner, because Zeroes was much better than I had ever expected. Prior to reading this, the last book I read by Scott Westerfeld was Afterworlds, which was a book I hated (I know Westerfeld is only one of the three authors of this book, but as I have not read any of the other authors’ works, I can’t compare them). Author: Scott Westerfeld, Margo Lanagan and Deborah Biancotti
