Someone needs to physically stop me from listening to fantasy and sci-fi audiobooks because I genuinely don't know what happened in the last quarter of the book and will have to re-read it in my paperback

I know I'm supposed to like this book. It has so many great reviews. It was pretty horrible.

It's too long-about 200 pages too long.

It is Harry Potter/Hunger Games/Insurgent/name another YA novel series mash up.

Why did I finish it? It became a challenge.

TL;DR: nope.

La construcción del mundo super interesante, que la trama haya girado a una versión del los juegos del hambre ya no tanto. Esta lectura fue parte de la lectura de Noviembre-Diciembre del grupo Ciencia Ficcion en Español del que todo amante de la ciencia ficcion deberia formar parte, buenas discuciones y usuarios con mucha, pero mucha experiencia en el genero.
Como dije me gustó mucho la ambientación que le ha dado el autor y estaría dispuesto a darle la oportunidad a la saga siempre que me pueda contar y expandir la idea. (No más juegos por favor)

Wow! This was phenomenal. I’ve had it on my TBR for a while…so glad I finally sat down to read this! Darrow is an intriguing main character. Part brooding, part vengeful and impulsive but he seemed layered too. The world building was fantastic. I cannot wait for the next book!!

To be truthful, I did not expect to like this as much as I did. My husband read it and then recommended it. Dystopian novels are a dime a dozen and while I tend to like them, there are plenty of REALLY bad ones. This one is quite violent and nudity is a common part of the community, so it wouldn't make a movie that I would see probably, but the nudity wasn't graphic, so it worked okay in a book. Overall, the setting on Mars was interesting with the world at large being the solar system. I liked the Roman references. I liked the main character. My favorite scene was when he voluntarily got whipped. (I think that's not saying too much.) I liked how it defined his character so clearly from what he despised.

4.5 realmente

Excelente libro. Está narrado con solo pov. Es llevadero, no se hace aburrido. Solo te dan ganas de saber q va a suceder.
Mi calificación se basa únicamente en q me costó agarrar el ritmo de lectura, el gran "no puedo dejar de leer" me pasaba de manera intermitente, no constante como suele pasar con otros libros.
Si debo decir q me enamore de Mustang
