Well, this book kind of surprised me. I was simply expecting it to be kinda bland, but this modern day version of Lord of the Flies was really very good. Definitely a better read for someone on the upper edge of ya literature, as there is quite a bit of violence that I don't really think younger kids should be exposed to. I mean, if they could handle The Hunger Games or Lord of the Flies, this book would be perfectly fine for them.
Great and amazing book that will never stop to surprise you. You will find yourself breathless at every chapter.
What a great book! My only complaint is that, as a Mom, I had some struggle with just wanting the adults to come back already! GRR. But I love all of the dimensions of the characters, there weren't just GOOD guys and BAD guys. Some of the good did bad things and some of the bad did good things. I also love that there's a few characters that don't necessarily have an allegiance. All of this seems very real to me. When you have a community of people with struggles determining power, it's not set up clear in the beginning what teams would be, this book feels very real with how allegiances falter, especially when death is at the door.
Gone by Michael Grant is, to me, awesome. A very interesting plot. Set in the present day, Sam thinks it will be another regular day, but when his teacher just randomly disappears in thin air, right in front of him. He soon realizes that everyone fifteen and older disappears. The city limits are now surronded by a huge dome, that if touched, burns your skin. The city is soon turns into a frenzy. With no grown-ups, they must set their own rules and life styles.
It is very interesting. It might seem like a bore, but it is interesting, some people might compare it Lord of the Flies or the Hunger Games, but I think it is better than both. It seems like the end of the world is coming closer. I recommend it to any sci-fy and end of the world readers.

I absolutely loved this book. I loved all the characters and how much they developed throughout the book. The only thing I didn’t like was how Sam was presented in the later books with his relationship with Astrid. This was still easily a five star read. I don’t really read many fantasy books but this was amazing. Some parts of the series bored me but overall I loved the series so much.
Nope nope nope. One scene ruined this entire book for me.
This is an amazing book!!! I loved it right from the beginning on. Plus it was way better than I expected it to be. a must-read!!!
