This book had a promising storyline but falls flat in execution. An island of robots that has been hidden away for decades? That's seriously cool. What's not cool however is the way the author switches first person narratives halfway through the book. I was also irritated by inclusion of one character's thoughts on whether or not he might be gay. This really shouldn't be included in juvenile book, and it doesn't play into the main plot at all. The only reason I can think of it being included is to check some sort of box so that the book is seen as progressive.
