Debo decir que este libro en originalidad se lleva un 10. Me gustó mucho la idea de que la gente después de morir reiniciara volviéndose más fuerte, rápida y en definitiva menos humana.
Me encantó el principio pero no sé por qué sentí que la historia empezaba a decaer a lo largo del libro.
Me gustaron tanto Wren como Callum ya que me parecen personajes bastante entretenidos sobretodo Callum y era interesante saber como era su vida antes de ser reiniciados. Aunque me hubiera gustado saber un poco más de Wren porque no llegué a conocerla del todo.
Lo que hizo que le quitara una estrella fue que el final no me convenció del todo. Cuando lo terminé no me quedé loca por leer el segundo libro como creía que iba a estarlo.
En definitiva, Reiniciados me parece una distopía muy original y diferente aunque me hubiera gustado un final diferente. Aun así estoy dispuesta a leerme el segundo libro.

Not as good as I remember but still entertaining and a good quick read. I enjoy Amys interpretation of zombies and look forward to reading the sequel. The fight scenes were well done and the ending was a good speed. I enjoyed the training scenes but do feel like certain parts of the story dragged on. I enjoyed the romance, wasn’t over the top but wasn’t supposed to be based on the characters. Not very quotable. Overall 3.5/5 stars. Was a good quick read when I dedicated the time to it but not so entertaining I was racing back to it when I put the book down.

Amy Tintera's debut novel is fast-paced, has a great concept and could be read in a single sitting (naturally it took me almost a week, but let's not go into that).

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the romance, since several reviewers had problems with it. It was sweet and tender; like something you'd find in a contemporary romance.
The friendship-like bond Wren and Callum formed and their comments to one another made up for their otherwise lukewarm chemistry.
The characters were well-developed, although the story focused a little too much on the MC and the love interest. The cast of secondary characters had potential that went to waste. There were many people in this book, and each and every one of them needed their share of the spotlight.

The last 50 pages dragged and made me uninterested, but the rest of the book had me hooked.
I will read the sequel, though it's not one I'll be rushing to make time for.
Recommended for fans of Legend by Marie Lu.

I like the idea of reboot very much in this book and I also like the setup between humans, reboot, and HARK. Unfortunately, the author has not executed the story well, and this is reflected by her inconsistencies in the characterization for Ran 178. I also find holes and illogical points in the plot that undermined the quality of the novel. Still, I really like Callum, Ran, Ever, Athena and probablybwill continue reading this series, hoping the future books will only get better as the author matures.

Quick easy read. 
Complete story that could continue if wanted but is unneeded. 
Geared towards teens.

Cursi, tonto, simple, lleno de clichés, más de lo mismo. Quiero el tiempo invertido en este "libro" de regreso.

I guess robo-cyborg isn't really a fair shelf to put this on, perhaps I need something that has to do with contagions. The basic premise of this book is that kids are all subject to the KDH virus, if you catch it and die, your body could 'reboot' itself. And people who have had this happen are just called reboots, they're not considered human anymore, they can heal faster and are generally stronger and more resilient than normal people. When you've become a reboot, you're taken away to a facility where you're ranked based on who long you were dead for. Our main character, Wren is 178 while the new kid Callum is 22. The higher the number, the better (and more heartless) the trainee because reboots are sort of like law enforcement, working for the humans.

I'm not going to say I loved this book, it was good and an interesting premise. But the characters were a little boring and the story felt very rushed like we couldn't wait to get to the end. Wren is a fun character, but she doesn't seem like a real person. I believed her more in the beginning when she was apathetic and blank. I just have a hard time believing that Callum could just show up and change her entire perspective on life. It felt a bit forced. But we'll see.
