The premise of this book was very interesting but it just didn't do it for me. There wasn't anything about it that wowed me and I felt like every twist had been done before.

The brother isn't dead. The radioactive area is actually safe and where the rebels are. The girl who fell into being chosen isn't alone in her specialness.

And I'm not sure if the whole red/silver thing is supposed to be a metaphor but if it was... It was poorly executed.

The pace and excitement of this book grabbed my attention and kept it the whole time! This book got me out of a long reading slump. Reading it a second time, there were a few things that I picked up on that didn't quite make sense, but not enough to pull me out of the experience.
