This series is close to my heart. Middle school me was not really to interested in books (not counting manga) and this series changed that. I reread it a few years ago when the fever code came out and it  was still good but had its issues.

I would recommend this book for people who either want an easy series to digest with a few twists in the story or for middle-high school students who are interested into getting into reading or just want a cool sci-fi book to read.

If I could make a comp to this series it would be if the hunger games but more geared towards a male audience. Great series to check out.

The main reason for my rating is that I’m pissed off that it was a cliffhanger. And the second book has a waitlist at my library. If you don’t need resolution from it I guess it’s good. I would’ve really loved it in middle school.

I’ve seen the movies first, and liked them and knew of the book. I wish I read the book first to avoid spoilers. This book was sooo good  I read it really quickly once I got into it. The perfect dystopian ya book and a great start to the series. It looks like this book got me out of a reading slump 👍🏻 (written when I finished it; the middle of the night)

4.0

I ended this book and had so many questions. This was mostly a good thing because it makes me want to read the rest of the series. Some parts, I saw the obvious foreshadowing but that's what happens when you're an adult reading YA.

I hated losing Chuck but it seems like a necessary plot device to move into the next book.
