Summary: Good Book For Good Readers
Review: I like Galax-Arena because of how the kids are captured by a man from a planet in a system called Cygni system where Vexak is. I thought that this book was good because it was like me. I love gymnastics. These children meet other kids who are acrobats. Two other kids Liane and Peter know how to perform but Joella doesn't and has a major bad future. The part that I think was bad was the kids killed someone and blood was pouring everywhere.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ryan's Review
Review: I liked this book because it keeps you guessing until the last minute. Not only this but practially the whole book is full of suspence. I think this is the book to buy if you are into science fiction and to get left hanging. The only reason i didn't like this story was because of the ending but you are going to have to find out what happens on your own.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST BOOK I"VE EVER READ
Review: I read this book at least 3 years ago. and i can honesty say that still today it is the best book i have ever read.i have read it at least 5 times and each time it manages to bring tears to my eyes. It is full of emotion, adventure, suspence and it is so believeable that i felt that i was actually there when it happened. The ending is totally unexpectable and it must have taken a genius to think of it. I must praise Gillian Rubenstein for this is her best work to date.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A fantastic book you can't put down!
Review: In this intruiging book of the future, Joella, her sister Liane, and her brother Peter are kidnapped, put on a rocket, and taken to a planet named Vexak! Here they are to perform death-defying stunts to entertain alian creatures called Vexa, who enjoy the fear and especially death of children. Along with other children, called the peb, Joella and her siblings are trained as risk-taking performers. But unlike her talented sister and brother, Joella is not an acrobat and is sent off to be a pet for a Vexa. There Joella starts to piece together the mystery of these strange events. This is my absolute favorite book and it is a definite page turner that you will treasure forever!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT!GREAT!GREAT! OR IS IT GREAT!
Review: Oh my gosh! I'm eleven and i totally understand what Joella felt! I cried with her I laughed with her and i even felt pain and anger and fear with her. I totally think you should read it. It ROCKS!...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WHAT IS GOING ON HERE???????
Review: SORRY, BUT I COULD NOT STAND THIS BOOK! I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT GILLIAN IS A GREAT WRITER, BUT I COULDN'T HANDLE THIS BOOK! I READ IT FOR CLASS AND NOT ONE PERSON REALLY ENJOYED IT! IT WAS HARD TO GET INTO AND ONCE YOU GOT THE STORY LINE YOUR THINKING WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON HERE!

LOOK I'LL BE HAPPY TO READ ANOTHER ONE OF HER BOOKS, BUT I'M STAYING CLEAR OF GALAX-ARENA!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AMAZING!
Review: the book was such an amazing novel! It is incredible how the author came up with the idea! I recomend it greatly! In my opinion it is higher than 5 stars!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I think that it was pathetic and uninteresting.
Review: The book was very slow to start and it didn't get much better later on. It was very hard to undrestand, especially when they used the patwa talk. I think that is what made it uninteresting. Not much immagination has gone into the set-up of the galaxarena and the things on the "spaceship". Gillian Rubinstein could have tried to make it more appealing to the young teens age.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Brilliant, Original, ingenious and thought provoking
Review: The storyline and plot are confronting and stunningly original and the Galax-Arena challenges our way of thinking about the world. Although constant change of tense tends to make it slightly difficult to follow, this powerful book is innovative, provocative, effortlessly ethical and utterly convincing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow!
Review: This book gives a great perspective on some of the things that peolpe try to pull over on children and how many are smarter than we think. It also shows how they were able to get out of they physical and mental restraints. This book was great and I plan to buy it and I hope for a sequel
