Seth dies in the US and then wakes up in a dystopian England. And the story is about that, but it's also about being who you are, choosing to live, choosing to love and the people we choose to be with. I always wish this had a sequel because I want to know what happens in the world and to the characters I grew to love, but I know enough to believe they'll be OK.

Liked this one. A great read. But a little long and odd. Good story, and a plausible one at that. I really loved the characters and rooted for them all throughout. But I wanted more answers about the Driver!

Graphic drowning and unreality. Attack by animal. Smoking, underage drinking. Joke about teacher/student relationship, description of character as "concentration camp guard."

This started out slow but great. The mystery, the tension, the surprise when

it suddenly turned out that there were other people in the world

. As an enjoyer of mystery and soft sci-fi I was a bit disappointed when certain truths were revealed. However after seeing another reviewer’s statement that this book is almost a decade old, I kinda forgave it for that.
I didn’t see some of the smaller plot twists coming such as

Gudmund sleeping with Monica or Seth choosing to give Owen to the escaped convict (that made me GASP)

but unfortunately I quickly predicted one of the biggest plot twists (

Owen being dead the whole time. There was just too much foreshadowing.

) 
The characters weren’t super complex,

the ending lacked resolution to MANY questions, but in a frustrating way rather than a mysterious one

, and there was a bit too much explicit explanation for what and why the characters were feeling. In conclusion, this was pretty good, great by 2013 standards, just not my cup of tea at the moment.

Patrick Ness never misses! I went into this not knowing anything, and I’m so glad I did. After figuring out this is not just a hard-hitting contemporary novel, my reading experience just got better and better. This was gut-wrenching and beautiful. I loved our main characters, the apocalyptic setting, and the ending. Everything about this was great! Wish I had known the content warnings beforehand because this book was graphic, although it was all handled well. I will say, it made me slightly uncomfortable the way one of our characters was written, however, it is not my voice you should be listening to when it comes to that rep. I highly implore you to go look at reviews from Black readers.
