By A. J. Ullman
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the story Havall 16 by A. J. Ullman. It is a book that includes action, danger, and made me think “What would I do in the same situation?” I loved the storyline and the characters. Two of the really interesting characters are Tommy Canada and Havall 16. The story is one that would be considered sci-fi and had me turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. The author does a wonderful job of making the story and the characters come alive. This is one book I didn’t want to put down. I have always loved sci-fi books, so this is a story that was both interesting and intriguing. I found that the end of the book came too soon. What does the future hold for the characters? Read this book to find out! I highly recommend reading it.

This story had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I grew to care about what happens with Dominic and Lula with each chapter that I read. It was also enjoyable to read about many of the additional characters introduced. I loved the banter that goes back and forth between Dominic and Lula. The author does a wonderful job of making you feel the emotions of the characters and bringing the story to life. Don’t miss out on a romantic, entertaining, and exciting story that you will not want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.
