Hareem - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
In my opinion, the book itself is amazing and the style of the story is written nicely . The genre of this book is very clear and it is a realistic thriller. I like the words which have been chosen to represent the story
Hawwa - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
There was so much going on in such a short book. The whole thing was page-turning and I would definitely read the next book. I loved the plot twist about the EchoStar AI. Overall it was a great read.
Zoey - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
Quick read. Page-turning. Nice buildup. I really enjoyed this book!
Diana - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
I liked the tense drama of this book, and how the AI is mysterious. I also liked how the technology seemed to get more and more sinister, until a really interesting climax. I also liked the cover illustration. I didn't really like how the main character was punished for doing the right thing, but the book overall was very good.
Charlotte - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
Very good story line and good twists and turns. Kept me interested and I couldn't put it down. A great ending too and it made me want to read the second book. Such a cliffhanger!
Elizabeth - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
This was a very interesting book. It had me hooked right to the end. I absolutely loved the ending. I recommend reading it!
Hana - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
The emotions in this book were written very well with an interesting plot
Jenny - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
I enjoyed reading this book and I liked how it is a situation that lots of people might be in - the part where they are struggling with school work. I did think that the book could have been a bit longer though to go in to more detail. Thank you for writing this book.
Clemmie - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
It was a really good book. Nice and short. Easy to read good ending.
Emily - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
I loved how the book slowly came to the understanding of what and who was controlling the Echostar app and how you can't trust everything on the Internet. I also loved when the same boy kept turning up and that it didn't draw to much attention to him either. There could have been more suspense but overall it was a great book and I really enjoyed reading it.
Tabi - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
I loved it! As a big reader, I am always happy to find a book that really connects with all my wants in a book. I have never really enjoyed Sci-Fi, but this really made it more enjoyable and fun for me. Thank You.
Mia - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
I don't usually like books like this, but I actually liked this one.
Sarah - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
Well written book. I generally like this type of book, especially as there was the mystery of who Ryan actually was and what he would do.
Milena - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
I liked the twist of fate when Ruby found out that EchoSTAR was actually a human, not AI and I also liked how her mum got a virtual assistant after everything that had just happened. I didn't like how it doesn't say if she went to the ATF camp in the end. I loved the book though.
Annie - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
This book was very exciting and I especially loved the detail of how you can't always trust AI. I fully recommend this book for people who enjoy drama, but the book also holds a message that you shouldn't always trust random people on the internet and don't spend your entire life on the screens.
Kristen - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
The plot was interesting but I think the book can be a bit longer since I like longer stories to be honest.
Maria - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
Its a really good book and really drew me in. Its so Interesting and I couldn't stop reading It! I totally recommend It and can't wait to read the next one!
Emma - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
I thought that this was quite a good book but I found it a bit confusing. Towards the end of the book is did start to give me nightmares.
Sophie - White Hills Park Federation - 2025
The book echostar is thrilling and mysterious. With different words adding to the eerie atmosphere building up throughout the book with a shocking plot twist. It is a good book for mystery book lovers. Would recommend.
Thomas - White Hills Park Federation - 2025
I feel really strongly about this book, the plot, the story, the plot twists, they all get me trapped into reading more. I love the thought put into making the characters as well as the ending, it always kept me guessing what was going to happen next. In theory, this book is amazing, there are a few things that could be better but overall, it's, amazing.
Elodie - White Hills Park Federation - 2025
Ruby and her best friend Deva both love drama and have recently won places for the Ash Tree Foundation Performing Arts Camp. However, they can only go if their school grades improve. But it is only when Deva suddenly becomes one of the top pupils in the class, that Ruby discovers Echo Star, an app to help improve your school grades, harmless right? This is a good book if you like a plot-twist, however I found it quite unsettling, hence the lower score. I did like the characters though and the way that it was almost like looking through their eyes.
Erin - Nottingham Girls High School - 2025
I really enjoyed this book as it demonstrates the dangers of AI and technology. I would definitely recommend.
Evie - Outwood Academy Kirkby - 2025
I really enjoyed ECHOSTAR because of the plot twist at the end. This could also be helpful to younger readers to not download sketchy apps. I'm excited to read the next book when I can.
Amaira - White Hills Park Federation - 2025
This book is wonderfully thrilling. I like how it acknowledges the dangers of cyberbullying while making it spine chilling!
Eliana - Outwood Academy Kirkby - 2025
It was a very interesting and good book with lots of plots twists and drama.
Abubakar - White Hills Park Federation - 2025
Really good thriller and shows the dark side if technology if used by the wrong people also looks towards friendships.
Lilah - White Hills Park Federation - 2025
Echostar is a very good book, it has a very strong connection to the modern world being overtaken by social media. There were some emotionally intense parts, as the main character undergoes hard times. I loved the cliffhanger at the very end. The only thing I'd say is that it all felt a bit rushed. Would recommend to anyone who likes a bit of drama.
