Criticize Epithetical Books Only You Can Save Mankind (Johnny Maxwell #1)

So this is Terry Pratchett outside of Discworld.It was ok, but I think it was a short story stretched into a book. The big theme of war being real and not a game was a bit preachy, but maybe that's because it's aimed at the YA audience.Then the author touches on universal problems faced by kids everywhere: parents on the verge of a break up, trying to fit in with the other kids, surviving in the inner city, etc. But since these are not the main story, he never goes anywhere with them.I wasn't

If not you, who else?Many people who are worried about female role models love Terry Pratchett because he has a LOT of realistic female characters of varying ages and sizes. While I fiercely love his women, I think his male character are underrated as role-models, especially the hero of my childhood Johnny Maxwell, who is thoughtful, empathic and generally favours non-confrontative and clever approaches to his otherworldly problems. In a world in which even well-read and scientifically oriented

Woah are there some bad reviews here. This book is admittedly very different from Terry Pratchett's others. It reads like a combination of a number of sci-fi/dystopian works, none of them taking place in the discworld. Nevertheless, as a librarian I would be far more likely to give this to your average male high-schooler. This is a world kids will be able to get into and to get behind. The main character isn't exceptionally well-developed, nor is the world-building flawless, but what you have

Wasn't sure if I would enjoy this but I really did.Kind of dated in a way but I remember those sorts of computer games.Liked the character of Johnny.Classic Terry Pratchett humour, lots of funny bits and very cleverly written.Looking forward to reading the other books in the series.

I picked up this book to read something short and light in between another books. Oh, and because its Terry Pratchett.I was surprised by this book. Its definitely short but not as light as I was expecting. Even the title of the book is not how it seems. You dont need to save mankind from aliens. You need to save mankind fromwell, mankind. Only You Can Save Mankind is about war and Johnny Maxwell coping with it. Its about the difference between reality and a dream. Or, to be more precise, its

A surprising book that left me with a tremendous sense of appreciation for Pratchett's ability to inject seemingly silly or small stories with heart and message. Appropriate reading for teens and adults, like most of Pratchett's work, I'd heartily recommend this quick read to anyone.The book does an effective job of portraying the early 90s computer gamers. I was especially taken by the nostalgia of it all as I myself was roughly Johnny's age during that first Iraq war and often in front of a

I'd never read this series before, but I picked up the second and third at library sales a few years back, and in preparing for a month of reading, I came across them on the shelves and thought it was time. The Johnny Maxwell series is solid middle-grade SF with a touch of typically Pratchett-esque humor. In this book, Johnny is playing a video game that involves slaughtering invading aliens when his screen displays the message that the aliens want to surrender. They're tired of dying (when a
