This had me wanting answers to some of the plot devices that Price didn't really address adequately. Having said that, I still really enjoyed the read and hope that maybe some of my unanswered questions will be addressed in future novels.
I enjoyed this book a great deal. From the very start it took off and it really didn't let up. I liked the world that Price built as well as the characters. I really appreciated how the characters (particularly some of the enders) developed and I hope we'll see more of Madison in the next book. I'm definitely going to be picking up the sequel.
Alles in einem hat mir das Buch sehr gut gefallen, leider gibt es manche unerklärte dinge und auch das Ende fand ich nicht ganz so gut.
Zum Beispiel würde ich gerne wissen woher Callie die Body Bank kennengelernt hat und was genau bei diesem Krieg passiert ist.
Aber ansonsten war es eine spannende Story!

I get that I am no longer a young person so I am not the target audience, and the premise has some kind of kernel of interesting ideas. However the execution of this book is so incredibly disappointing the story was painfully predictable, I could quote lines from it pages before they happened. The characters where one dimensional at best and that one dimension was almost always cartoonish in proportions. The whole plot as it was unfolded was so ridiculous as to just be unbelievable and boiled down to old people are evil. And the reveal at the end ........ ugh
It was an interesting concept. I enjoyed the originality of the piece although, it did remind me of Scott Westerfeld's trilogy (because I don't count Extras) The Uglies.
The storyline was a bit confusing at times but I sum that up to the whole having to create an entirely new world since it takes place in the future, however, for must of the stuff, the reader can catch on fast. I also think that more will become clear as the books continue, particularly with Old Man and Blake since I'm dying to know more.
I wish the romance aspect had been dealt with a bit better since it felt rushed and virtually didn't happen. I hope it plays a bigger and stronger role in the future novels.
All in all, it was a decent read. Kept me interested and I finished it in a day (but that's nothing new if it's remotely interesting). It's not good enough to deserve my extremely and undying love but I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for future novels by this author, particularly in the series.
Oh, also.. I adore the cover. I just wish Price had gone into more detail with the significance or metaphor behind Michael's drawing because I feel like I might be putting untrue facts into what I get out of it.

This book took me the bones of three months to read, which was probably my own fault rather than the book's - fifth year destroyed my will to read :( It was actually a pretty great book, the premise was excellent and the characters were well written, albeit slightly basic. The plot was probably the best thing about Starters, I thought it was constructed very well with pieces of the puzzle being revealed gradually as Callie moved from location to location. I really enjoyed the ending - it provided closure on the main plot of the novel while also creating a sense of intrigue about what happens next. I have my own theories about the mysterious Old Man but I guess I'll just have to wait til next year to see if I'm right...
3.5 stars. I know it was science fiction but this was so far stretched that I had trouble with some of it. It was a good story though. Just had trouble with parts of it.
