Fearless (Fearless #1)

Reader reviewed by random one

fearless is a book with a message that will stick with you for
a long time. It is not just another book that youll forget about a week after
you read it; it is essentially a work of art. The language is poetic, and the
strength of the main character is astounding. Although it is a simple book,
with a simple message Believe in yourself, it stands out from the crowd.
Although its been done a thousand times before, it is amazingly different,
unique, and powerful. It will capture you whether or not you like it- and you
wont want to put it down until the very last page.  The language used by the characters can be a
bit unrealistic, but if it werent, the effect of the book would be gone. It would be just another believe in
yourself book. Tim Lott is an amazing writer, with great ideas. Every word he
writes is believable; every character he creates is entirely real. The main
character is known as Little Fearless, a name which is not entirely
un-earned. She is the only one of a thousand girls to stand up for herself, and
for all of them. Based in the basic human ideas of bravery, and truth, and
freedom, this book is a wonderfully wrought tale of truth and justice, and,
ultimately, freedom. The messages in this book are not complicated, and not
hidden under layers of other meaning, but they are bold and plain, for anyone
to see. The openness of this book, its whole and un-assuming character, not
hidden by anything, but just bold and beautiful, for the whole world All of
that makes this book one of the best - one of the elite. It is a highly
recommended read for anyone whos
interested.

When I first heard this series was by the author of Sweet Valley High I was put off (I'm not a Sweet Valley kinda girl), but I gave it a chance and was pleasantly surprised. The story does overdue some of the teenage drama for sure, but it keeps me entertained, which is a pretty big feat. If your reading for entertainment, and not expecting a realistic cia/action story and you can deal with the overdose of drama you will probably not be dissapointed.

I must admit, it took me a while to figure out this book (the back cover was no help) but I gave it some time, and I can see why this series is such a hit. Gaia (pronouced "guy [pause] uh" Moore was born withou the gene for fear, and was trained by her father to be a brilliant super-warrior. The fearless gene seems like a gimmick at first, but over time it's clear that for Gaia, this is both a gift and a curse. Gaia may not feel fear when faced with an attacker in the park, but when she uses all of energy fighting she literally cannot open her eyes. She is also still a lost teenager, and she must deal with the same issues of popularity, friendships, and what to wear to school.

The balancing act between Buffy/Syndey Bristow toughness and teenage insecurities is a tough one, and while Fearless doesn't always succeed, it definitely gets points for ambition. This first book in series introduces several characters, including Gaia's only friend, wheelchair-bound Ed, and her nemesis, the super-popular Heather. We also briefly meet Gaia's guardians George and Ella, but the fate of Gaia's parents is only hinted at.

While Fearless doesn't quite hit all its marks, it definitely draws the reader in, and I, for one, want to know what happens next.
