Title: The Revolution of Jack Frost
Author: K.M. Robinson

Book blurb from Amazon.com:

No one inside the snow globe knows that Morozoko Industries is controlling their weather, testing them to form a stronger race that can survive the fall out from the bombs being dropped in the outside world--all they know is that they must survive the harsh Winter that lasts a month and use the few days of Spring, Summer, and Fall to gather enough supplies to survive.

When the seasons start shifting, Genesis and her boyfriend, Jack, know something has gone wrong. As their team begins to find technology that they don't have access to inside their snow globe of a world, it looks more and more like one of their own is working against them.

Genesis soon discovers Morozoko Industries is to blame, but when a foreign enemy tries to destroy their weather program to make sure their destructive life-altering bombs succeed in destroying the outside world, their only chance is to shut down the machine that is spinning out of control and save the lives of everyone inside the bunker--at any cost.

My review:

I would like to start off with, I requested to review this book for NetGalley.com and was approved to give my own honest opinion. I have only read about seven chapters and feel I can give an honest opinion based on those chapters. I will most likely not continue but if I do I will update this review or add a new one if I finish the book.

We meet Genesis and Jack... and Ezra, and Nathaniel, and Adam, and Lilly and almost every name in the Book of Baby names... There are a lot of side characters that don't get fleshed out enough. The only two that are slightly fleshed out are Jack and Genesis. Gen is the main character and she is the girlfriend of Jack and all the adults and kids are in a bunker and are ruled by weather. There is two days of Spring, a week of Summer, and a month of Winter. Winter is the bad time where they can't fend very well for themselves and everyone else.

I was first confused by the amount of people. Will they be important later? Are they going to continue showing up through the book? Do I need to get emotionally invested in them and their welfare? I forgot most of the kids names and the adults were boring to read.

I want to put this out there: Jack Frost, the Christmas legend, is one of my favorite stories to watch and read. I look out for him during the December movies on T.V. and any books related to him. When I found this I thought it was an interesting twist why not give it a shot but I feel a bit disappointed. I wanted to enjoy the chapters I read but felt myself skimming most and reading some. I've gotten to a point where they notice a huge change in the weather system, something wrong is happening around the area and Jack is being secretive. I understand Gen not wanting to be all up in his business but when you are in a position of wondering if you're going to survive the next Winter especially when it's so soon, I'd question him. I wouldn't just give him his "space" not when it pertains to the group. The story was definitely not very realistic as to how humans would act and who knows maybe none are human in the end but I don't think I will continue this book. Maybe later I will, just not now.

I appreciate being given the opportunity to read this and I thank NetGalley and the publishers but this was not my cup of tea.
