So far I think the series is... just ok. I don't know where they are going with the whole world and I'm interested enough to read the second book but I don't like feeling so in the dark. Sometimes I feel as frustrated as Thomas that people won't just EXPLAIN THINGS TO ME! Let's see if the next few books can hold my interest.

Not a bad book, but definitely not my usual taste. I can see why it's such a popular teen dystopian novel, though.
Personally, I found the characters mildly irritating and lacking the logic and intelligence older teenagers would usually have especially since they're supposed to be super smart kids .
Also, I found the descriptions of expressions and emotions a little unfitting at times - e.g. character A says something a little stupid; chacter B looks at them with disgust.
Overall, not awful by any means, but I was feeling very ready for the book to end from about 75% of the way through.

It's an enjoyable poolside read. I saw the films before I read the books, and the adaptations were pretty spot on! So if you like those, you'll like the books.

This book was only okay. I am not in love with it and I found some parts slow, other than that it was a good concept.
If you're wanting to give YA dystopian a chance I would suggest listening, the audios have been well narrated
