If I hadn't previously read the Delirium series I may not have been so harsh on this book. All I kept thinking while reading is "when is the good twist going to happen?" or "I know she can write better than this."
I found the book too predictable. Sure there were tiny things that I didn't see coming, but they were inconsequential in the scheme of things. And since there is more than one narrator it's hard to develop character depth, which was something I found endearing in Delirium.
Do I think lots of ya readers will love this book? Absolutely. I just wasn't one of them.
A lot of people are asking if this is like a dystopian Hunger Games like book. No, it's really just a bunch of bored teenagers trying to win money. The plot summary makes it seem like there's much more at stake than there is.
