Endgame: The Calling
by James Frey, Nils Johnson-Shelton
Wow.
I had reservations because the plot is similar to The Hunger Games so I wasn't sure if there was any new ground to cover. It became abundantly clear that Endgame had its own story to tell.
Endgame feels like a more fully fleshed out Hunger Games with more characters and more character development.
I can't remember the last time I read a book, all the while dreading the end of it, particularly because this was the first of a trilogy and I'll have to wait for the next one. Despite it being part of a trilogy, it feels like there is enough substance in the journey to warrant its own book. It doesn't feel unnecessarily dragged on.
There is a lot of action, but all of it is crisp. You can see, clearly, how events play out and even though there are over 12 characters, everyone is so distinct that I didn't have trouble picturing them and remembering who they were. (Okay, I struggled a bit with 12 backstories, but I remembered most of them, which is better than my usual record.)
I would highly recommend this book because it's action-packed and exciting and my first thought after reading it was, "Wow."
