emilywoodal 's review for:

The Calling by James Frey, Nils Johnson-Shelton

4.0

this took some time to get in to but I'm glad I stuck with it. the story has a good premise and puts you into the characters minds. It was a little weird at first because it does jump from player to player but I ended up liking that aspect because I was never left wondering what was going on with other players. I'm on book 2 now and excited to see how this will turn out for the characters. And no, as others reviews have said, this is not like The Hunger Games at all. this is more futuristic and has the hint of possible alien involvement. We will see as the books go on if indeed there are aliens.
