Rolling on to the Black Hills of South Dakota for the next stop on the tour with Will Hobbs' Go Big or Go Home.
The big meteor shower gives Brady quite the surprise as a meteorite crash through the roof of his house into his bedroom. Brady names the meteorite Fred, and naturally calls his best friend and cousin Quinn to spill the news.
Quinn comes down the next day, and him and Brady get up to their usual summer activities of biking, fishing, and exploring. They, also, visit the local museum where the expert learns more about Fred. Brady soon learns that he is getting more out Fred than expected, and this little meteorite is causing a strange change in him.
Mr. Hobbs does an excellent job of describing the scenery of the Black Hills. He really does transport the reader there at times. That being said, while the book was entertaining enough, but there definitely was not any surprise twist or shocking moments in it.
I was not impressed with the author's characters. They seemed very flat. So they liked to do fun and extreme outdoors things, but they need more dimensions to really bring them to life. I just felt that he really could explored his characters a little more and made the book better.
