raspberryicedtea's review against another edition
4.0
Teilweise zu stark konstruiert und überspitzt. Außerdem war eine Figur einfach nicht schlau genug, um sie als Gegner wirklich ernst nehmen zu können und sehr eindimensional "schwarz" obwohl die Reihe ja gerade sagen soll, dass es eben mehr als nur schwarz und weiß gibt, mehr als nur gut und böse.
Trotzdem hat mir auch der zweite Band der Reihe gut gefallen auch wenn er nicht an den ersten heranreichen konnte.
Ich freue mich schon auf den dritten Teil und hoffe, dass er doch noch übersetzt wird.

J’ai préféré le tome 1. La lecture du tome 2 donne vraiment l’impression d’avoir une longue histoire qui n’en finit plus, et ce à cause du début qui est un peu lent. Mais la suite est tout de même bien, même si ça finit en queue de poisson vu qu’il n’y a pas de tome 3.
A noté que le tome 1 et 2 sont tout de même agréables et facile à lire.

I loved this book, again, full of non-stop action, moving straight onto book 3, glad I found this series.

This was amazing. This is book two in the Cell 7 trilogy, and these are best read in order as this followed straight on from book one, which ended in a huge cliffhanger. In book two, we see all the familiar characters from book one, but the stakes are even higher this time in getting another youngster out of the cells. In the cells, you have seven days for the public to decide if you're guilty or not guilty... If you're found guilty, you will be put to the chair and death. Again, the main character, Martha, finds herself being set up, wanted, and tangled up with the law. A fast-paced, gripping, race against time read that will keep you hooked until the last page. Again, this book ends on a cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see what happens in the final book Final 7. Highly recommend. It's a brilliant YA trilogy so far. A well-deserved five stars from me.

Although not as good as the first book the second one still has good plot twists and a solid storyline.

After the explosive ending of Cell 7, Martha was released from prison/ the TV studio, and is hoping to be reunited with her boyfriend Isaac.
Unfortunately Isaac has been arrested for the murder of his father, and is going through the same process Martha did in the first book – for one week Isaac is moved into a smaller cell every day, until he gets to Cell 7, when the public will vote whether he lives or dies.
At the end of Cell 7, Isaac admitted that he had killed his father, and it was to stop him from killing Martha.
Max Stanton managed to hack into An Eye For An Eye productions’ feed, and broadcast the footage of the murder, showing that Jackson was strangling Martha when Isaac shot him, however the feed was cut, and all playback facilities have had a “technical issue”. Only the people present in Cell 7 and the live audience from that day know what really happened.
The truth cannot be allowed to get out, so the shady PM instigates a plot to get Martha out of the way.
Martha has to get Isaac out of death row, whilst finding a way to show the public the truth behind the judicial system.
Okay, I liked this book, and I gave it 3/5 stars on Goodreads but I had a few issues with it:
Structure and plot wise, it was almost a rehash of book one, with the roles of Martha & Isaac reversed.
There wasn’t much of a reminder of the characters and events from the first book – it took me a while to remember who people were…
Martha made a lot of terrible decisions, particularly towards the end of the book, which I felt were out of character and made her seem incredibly stupid.
The overarching plot didn’t really seem to move forward until the last chapter.
If you are looking for a fast paced, thought provoking YA thriller, then I highly recommend this book; Day 7 will have you on the edge of your seat, wondering if Isaac will Live or Die until the last chapter.
I liked how the author demonstrated widespread hypocrisy and mob mentality, and it made me think about a lot of the recent “trials by media”, and what we the public really know about these cases, beyond the headlines and sound bites.
