Mr. Fahrenheit
by T. Michael Martin

I didn't realize what this book was about when I requested it. My mind was something like this: Cool cover! *clicks request.* So when I started reading this I only knew it was that aliens were somehow involved. Mr. Fahrenheit was a pretty cool book, it was filled with some interesting characters, an interesting concept, and an alien that was only able to speak through song.
I liked Mr. Fahrenheit. But it was slow, I read up to 60% before I started to skim and skip a bit. Nothing action-ish or otherwise doesn't happen to the end. A majority of the book is the panic of having shot down an alien space craft, and now stuck with the pod that survived and Benji's weird connection to it. I spent a good chunk of this book hoping an alien was going to pop out, and sighed and frustration when it didn't. Which happened about every five pages.
I did like the characters. They were fun, but they felt two dimensional to me. We knew enough about Benji whose POV the story is told from. But that was it. The group as a whole was a riot together. CJ specifically said the funniest and most quotable things.
I just don't have much to say about this book. It was okay, but I wasn't blown away. If you are questioning whether to read this book or not, I say give it a shot. You have nothing to loose really. I think this book is going to be a hit or miss for people. Sadly despite a cool idea, it was a miss for me.
