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.
