More reviews at Rondo of a Possible World: YA Book Reviews
There are people whom I know or that I have seen that bash YA books for being "to morbid" or "to violent" or "to dark" or "kids shouldn't read this because the content is too mature for teenagers." Well, if you're someone who's like that then just leave this review because Dark Inside by Jeyn Roberts was a fantastic novel of teenagers going through the drastic change as humanity crumbles before them like the earthquakes that rock the plant.
The pace of the book drew me in from the start. Ms. Roberts brings the action to the first chapter and keeps pumping every cent of it through to the remaining pages. You watch five teens strip from their clothes of normalcy and step into a world of survival where humanity is put to the test. Everything about this premise just excited me; the characters survival kept my eyes glued to my computer screen, and the mystery of who Nothing is during his scenes of the book. I have my own inferences but I am dying to find out.
Dark Inside doesn't cover up anything, what you read is what you get. Graphic details disgusting scenes, raw emotions. These things I enjoy in YA novels, to see the other sides of characters, a more prominent and realistic view to the fight of human nature and humanity. The adoration I had towards this novel was somewhat like what I had to Mike Mullin's Ashfall, another novel that should be check out. The intensity sparked through the characters showed a hidden side to YA literature.
Dark Inside is definitely a novel worthy of being purchased for anyone that happens to be a fan of Mike Mullin or just adventure involving paranormal induced humans destroying everything on God's green Earth. Either way, you're likely to enjoy the world that Jeyn Robert's had created.
