Awesome
Leviathan is a awesome book full of action and adventure. I could never put this book down, and I look forward to the next books!
Wow!
Leviathan is in a fairly unique genre- it is a real historical event place in a science fiction world. The events of WW1 are mostly accurate, however, and this book is a great way to get a basic idea of it, and actually remember it, unlike some things you learn in history class. This book also is a very exciting adventure story, and you find yourself getting caught up rooting for the main characters. It's a fantastic read and I would highly recommend it.
AWESOMENESS!!!
I loved the book and could not put it down. The pictures in it are great and theres a cool plot. Continue reading the other books in the series; you won't regret it!
Great read!
throughout this whole book there wasnt a page that was boring. Every page brought a new surprise and never-ending action.
