Jeremiah is like any other teenage boy who prefers to keep his head down and his hoodie on. But when he finds out about a chip in his brain, his anonymity becomes harder to come by. The upside is that Jerimiah isn’t going crazy. The downsides are many. From family issues and high school drama to government control and moral dilemmas, Jeremiah has more to work through than just lunch time bullies.
This book lands firmly in between science fiction and comedy. If it were a movie it definitely would be slapstick a la Spaceballs. In fact, there are a lot of balls in Jeremiah Jericho: Balls, crotches, nut sacks, and many other slang terms for genitalia are used frequently. The humor is very one dimensional, but if juvenile humor is your style then you’ll get a kick out of Jeremiah and his antics. If, however, you’re a fan of a well edited book free from grammatical errors, steer clear. The story itself is good, but the overall quality of penmanship doesn’t do the plot justice.
Azariah Scott has designed an imaginative story in a modern and relatable setting. Jeremiah Jericho is a laugh-out-loud story filled with immature dialogue.
