Day 21 by Kass Morgan
2.0
I couldn't deal with the cheesy plot or badly written characters. The only thing that really motivated me to read it in the beginning was that I really love the TV show. Not that I'm delusional that they are the same thing, as the TV show has well-rounded characters with motives that are easy to comprehend and well thought-out, while this book was just sort of a mess.
You never see under the veil of any of these characters; you just have to take them at face value. Bellamy goes through these weird mood swings that, I mean if you compare them to the TV show he does go through mood swings, are totally uncalled for (including the time he was ready to kill Clarke for no apparent reason other than that she had lied to him one time.) There are also a lot of flashbacks that are thrown in, some of them are good, but it's really hit or miss. For example: the whole past romance that Bellamy had is added to give a little drama where no drama is really needed.
"What was the plot of this book?" you may ask. Well I cannot tell you, because there wasn't really one. It is pretty much a continuation of the first novel in which the people in the dropship are struggling for air. And the people on the ground are struggling to deal with teenage angst. The whole thing is written with very basic writing that inspires no one.
I could go on but I really ought to read something that's worth my time. I do recommend the TV show but I do not recommend this series.
