Reviews for SEA CHANGE by Bryan Pentelow

I really enjoyed this original, unique book. I thought it was well- written (a few minor editing things but nothing too major) and kept my attention from beginning to end. It is a quick read, one I finished in the course of an evening. But an enjoyable one with an interesting take on AI life affecting Earth. I was genuinely surprised at a few things that happened, and thought the narrative was great. I will definitely be looking for more works from this author in the future. Definitely recommend reading for fans of sci-fi and adventure. (5 stars)

“Sea Change” by Bryan Pentelow is overall a compelling read, and one that is sure to appeal to fans of the genre. Mr. Pentelow infuses an intelligent and creative blend of humanity and artificial intelligence and how the two affect each other, for better or worse. The story itself was fairly even-paced, but I thought the beginning was a bit slow until things started to pick up. But other than that the story flowed well and I thought many of the ideas presented were pretty amazing. Interested to see where this author takes this storyline, if he does. (4-5 stars).

I’m not one for rehashing the plot (that is what the description is for) so I’ll just say what I liked and didn’t like about this novel “Sea Change” by Bryan Pentelow. First with what I didn’t like: I thought it could use some light editing, as I saw some proofing errors. Sometimes I thought the narrative went on too long without being broken up by dialogue or conversations, which made the pacing feel slow at times. But I loved the plot line, as it was really original and unlike anything I’ve read before. I was really invested in the character’s fates, and was surprised more than once. I thought the ending was perfect, and overall it was a genuinely good book. Would like to read more from this author in the future. Recommend. (4 stars).

The good part was that this is an excellent novel that captured my attention from the beginning and never once let it go. Each scene was riveting, imaginative, and well crafted. The descriptions were good and kept to a minimum. There was no lull in the action…All in all a wonderful story with an intriguing message that kept me eagerly glued to my kindle. The only problem that I found were punctuation errors that could have been cleaned up with a good editing/proofreading job. This may not really bother some people, but it does me. HOWEVER, even with that said, I really did enjoy this book and would read more from this author. He has a natural gift for crafting a well-thought out story and developing positive, memorable characters and a fresh take on artificial life influencing our existence. (4 stars)

When Bryan Prentice finds what looks like a memory stick and plugs it into his computer, he had no idea that his world… and the whole world… would change. It took me some time to get into “Sea Change”, and at first I wasn’t really sure where it was going. But the more I read the more I got into it, and thoroughly enjoyed this new world and reality the author writes of. It has a mix of almost everything… a great book that will stay with me for some time. So many elements, themes, and subjects it is hard to describe them all…it is complex without being confusing. I think that you need to take your time while reading it to really grasp everything the author is saying, as it will require some deeper thought and reasoning, but will be enjoyable for the younger crowd as well. Very interesting! (4 stars)

“Sea Change” is the first book I’ve read from this talented author Bryan Pentelow, but I hope it’s not the last! I thought the storyline and the character development to be very well done and thought out, especially for a shorter novella. I feel like this level of far reaching plot lines could have easily ended up badly, but instead I darn near gobbled the whole book down in one evening. The writing style while clean and easy to read is done in mostly narrative-style, so some people may not like that, as there is a certain amount of “telling” that happened. But many people will definitely enjoy this book and its fascinating plot. I can honestly say I’ve never read anything like it before. Recommend. (4-5 stars)
