I never read this book when I was younger but remember it being popular. At first, I was surprised by some of the language and gory content that middle schoolers were the targeted audience. As I continued reading the book, the fantasy element took over and the reading population made more sense. It took me a while to get into the book, but it was interesting and left on a cliff hanger. Though I am curious, I likely will not read the sequel.

Sono rimasta perplessa, leggerò il seguito ma non sono convinta.
Troppe domande, troppi particolari che non mi tornano.

This book was VERY hard to put down. Most of the characters were really good! I think Teresa and Chuck were my favorites. Thomas and Minho were also pretty good.
I about cried when Chuck died. The fact that he died sacrificing himself for Thomas plus Thomas' reaction was so sad!! It was still a good book though.

I’m one of the people who’ve seen the movie first, so the whole thing was spoiled from the beginning. Still, I loved the book mostly because of the plot, it is very different from other dystopias I’ve read, and the ending is amazing and frustrating at the same time.
One thing I didn’t quite like: how much and how fast Thomas likes Teresa, he’s a puppy from the moment she shows up and it bothered me for some reason. Maybe because I know what’s going to happen in the next book…

I picked this book up because I needed a break from a pretty depressing book while I was going through a stressful period. As an adult reader I can't say it's brilliant, it's a bit transparent and a lot of it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it was certainly entertaining and helped me shake off the morbs. Pretty solid all in all, but I don't think you need to have read the book to get the premise and understand what people are referencing when it gets brought up.
