"Why Should I Read This Book?
Great science fiction book - Undertow is a great science fiction book. I have never read anything like it, and it is a very unique type of book because it incorporates this genre with romance for a unique twist. The Alpha are so different from other creatures because of the features they get from humans and different exotic fish species. This book would also be good for those readers that like romances and want to see the relationship between Lyric and Fathom.
Shows great views on prejudice - The book shows how unaccepting people are of others that are not like them. In the story, the people of New York are fully against the Alpha even though they know nothing about the Alpha or their culture. If people were more accepting, like Lyric was, they could get along with each other, but instead they riot and threaten to kill the Alpha.
Lots of detail - Another reason this is book is a great read is because of the detail that is put into it. There are lots of descriptive words to describe what is happening and how people feel. Readers will feel like they know exactly how the character feels and what they see. Michael Buckley also did a great job on creating the Alpha. When I read the book I was amazed by what I imagined them to be.
Relatable characters - Some of the characters in this book, such as Lyric and Bex, could be relatable to teenagers because of how recent this book was written. Michael Buckley uses up-to-date language that is commonly used by teenagers to make the book feel more relatable.
