The Loners by Lex Thomas
1.0
I get why some people would like this book and I don’t want to discourage anyone from reading it because it wouldn’t be fair to author who worked so hard on it. So I won’t spoil and I’ll try not to be mean.
I did not like this book. That doesn’t make it bad, I just didn’t like it. Like I don’t like coffee but plenty of people do, my opinion holds the same weight here.
The only thing I’ll clarify for you is this: if you are wanting something like The Maze Runner where they’re trying to figure out the catastrophe, this is not the book for you.
If you like stories that focus on the politics of anarchy like, idk, the walking dead? Then you will like this book.
Also, if you’re offended by stereotypes then trigger freaking warning. They’re all walking stereotypes and the one mean thing I’ll say is: none of the characters are likable. Maybe they’re not supposed to be, that could be a thing the author was going for, idk. And the author really needs to look up how long hair grows in one year.
And the girls are represented and treated like crap by the author, there’s no nice way to say that but yeah. Get ready for stereotypes out the wazzoo and if you’re a sexual assault victim STEER CLEAR. and if you hate Pick Me girls and Mary Sues same.
