Hmmm I thought the book was ok. It definitely starts out with a horrifyingbang though! In the middle however, I felt like giving up (like the characters) mostly because I guess I was frustrated by the characters' failures when fighting against Caine and co. (cause of course, I'm rooting for the characters to succeed) I was thinking how much luck can Drake have to survive so long?
*minor spoilers*
I felt like I had to plow through the book because absolutely nothing was getting done about 2/3rds of the way through, and I personally hate reading about idiots (coughZilcough). I couldn't stand the HG's stupidity, but of course, it is necessary since it the normal/freak issue would come up eventually.
I nearly gave up, but plowing through to read the ending was worth it. It wrapped up nicely, but at the same time, set up questions to be answered in the third book.
side note: One thing I really like about these books is the diversity of the characters. Being an Asian myself, I like seeing Asian characters in a book since in all the YA books I've read, only a couple have had an Asian play an important role.

Totally awesome! I loved Caine's character in this, how he kind of realized that he doesn't need to be evil. Reading LIES now!

I’m glad I read the second installment of this series - I was disheartened by the first book.
I don’t mind the concept of the series, but I just admit, I found The characters a little flat. All of their motives and interactions seemed predictable. It seemed like one thing after another.
I’m keen to see how things pan out.

I really enjoyed this book more than the first, it was more action packed and it had some awesome scenes that shocked me and I connected more with the characters in this book, than I did in the first one. A lot of people have compared this series to Lord oF The Flies and I saw that more in this book than in the first. I keep forgetting that these kids are young and the oldest ones are 15 years old, but the way these kids act and turn on there friends makes them seem so much older because in reality little by little they are becoming savages because there is no order. I love Sam and his story, I can't wait to see how it was that all these kids that are considered mutant developed there powers and if Astrid and Edilio are going to develop some (i hope so) but this series is quickly becoming another one of my favorites and I can't wait to read Lies and see what is going to happen in the FAYZ.
