Book Overview

Highly recommended
Juliauna A , Aug 15, 2022
I couldn’t imagine actually living in a society like this. But i absolutely love the imaginative idea about it. Love to think i’d be divergent but probably not. definitely recommend to read thought.

Seriously how does this society function
Derived From Web , Aug 5, 2021
Half of the society works in the government, which is quite heavy for a society that is not good. Who makes or repairs things? More people should be in food production to support the society. The factions seemed to be the same, maybe I am too influenced by the movie. The people outside the city were saved because there were so many police officers guards. I would have hoped that people were bad. In the future, die would be eliminated. It still makes more than the shadow government of the book.

Would recommend
Hannah , Jun 4, 2021
It was definitely a really good book, and I loved the idea and plot. It’s nice to have a main character that isn’t completely stupid. I would recommend to dystopia lovers and people who liked the Hunger Games.

Could Not Get Into This At All
Derived From Web , Feb 23, 2021
When I was on vacation, I purchased this book online. I am a fan of the Hunger Games books and movies and this was supposed to be the same genre. I couldn't get through the first chapter. I didn't find it exciting or interesting. I'm not a big fan of sci- fi, but if a book is really interesting and it's sci- fi, I enjoy it. This isn't the case. I don't think I will be able to finish it because it sits unread on my iPad.

One of my favorite reads of all time
Derived From Web , Oct 17, 2019
I loved the series so much I wanted to get the collector's edition ones as well. The book is gorgeous from cover to cover. There are lots of extras. This is one of the best beginning's to a series and sets the tone for an awesome ride across Chicago. Creating something rare and brave and original gave me so much admiration for Veronica's works. She can make me feel every emotion, even if I don't want to, and come out with a deeper understanding. Unless I read it again, this series will always be on my bookshelf.

Tolerable story with heavy handed Christianity
Derived From Web , Nov 7, 2018
Came into this with high expectations. Came back very disappointed. The writing was average, with a tendency to say things in the action, then immediately follow it up with the character thinking I just did X!, like the reader is too dumb to notice. There is a heavy anti- intellectual sentiment. The main character is almost drowned at one point, and contemplates her Parvati, as if the getting dunked in water and coming away with a different self concept is too subtle. Despite some lip service being paid to the idea of bravery, guns are replaced for that quality at every opportunity. If you' re shooting intellectuals, the plot of the story can be summed up as selflessness is the real bravery. Can't recommend.
