Anyone wanting a good book to read should read “Pulse.” The book had a great storyline. Overall the book was great and ended well without a big cliffhanger.
The book didn’t really move forward until the third part making the reader feel anxious to get the storyline moving. However, it took a really long time to further develop the plot. Their jokes were funny and gave comic relief during intense moments. Other characters that are interesting are Hawk and Liz were hilarious in the book. She is smart and seems really down to earth, but sometimes there are times when she makes poor decisions that risk her life. It was frustrating that she didn’t know she was using her power, though her knowledge of her ability didn’t appear until the last part of the book.įaith as a character is intriguing. Faith eventually learns about the pulse, another name for telekinetic abilities, which will change the balance between good and evil. The fighting scenes throughout the book are action-packed, making the reader wonder if Faith will make it through the next scene.
The summary for the book in the inside cover said that Faith would be with a character named Dylan which isn’t true until the end of the second part making that a minor annoyance since the summary is misleading. At the newest town she moves to she runs into some trouble, meets a new friend named Hawk and finds her true identity. Throughout the novel, Faith is forced to move from town to town trying to stay in each place as long as she can. The tablets are also their tracker so the government can always keep tabs on them. The tablets hold everything people need and help them read books, get lectures for school, text, shop and listen to music. Faith lives in the strictly ruled eastern states with residents who leave daily to join the State, a place where pollution is nonexistent and their lives revolve around their tablet that can fix itself and grow. The story is about Faith Daniels, a super tall junior in high school has just one best friend, Liz. (There is some profanity used throughout the book which wouldn’t be appropriate for younger ages, though.) Emotionally, it was more complex, but overall everything is understandable. With three parts, 20 chapters and 371 pages, the book could easily be understood by anyone over 12. Sometimes the writing is a bit confusing with the time period not being stated in the book and the setting not being discussed until the end of the book, but despite those minor annoyances, it was an exceptional novel. For being a relatively unknown author, Carman has created a spectacular novel that deserves much praise. “Pulse” by Patrick Carman is a dystopic, romantic story of characters with superpowers.
