This book was about 100 pages too long. It had a lot of unnecessary dialogue and exposition. While the premise was interesting, it was, for the most part, predictable and because of that became frustrating at certain points. I did enjoy parts of it and while I don't plan on continuing with the series, it would be a good read for someone who enjoys YA books and has time to kill.

Somehow this book got more boring as it progressed for me. The ending was a little disappointing too as it just kind of leads up to a sequel & on a bit of a cliffhanger. Unfortunately the cliffhanger is not enough to get me to want to read the next books in this trilogy. Just a meh read in my opinion.

Completely blown away by the twists and turns in this, my advice is be careful of reading too many reviews in case you read spoilers.
Basically it's a teen read, that a lot of adults will love - 16 year old Min is trying to solve the mystery of her unusual life and occasional deaths. Beyond that is for you to discover for yourself.
Really excited about the next installment and if the film rights aren't snapped up, then I shall be very surprised.

I have not read a dystopian YA book in a awhile because I kind of got burned out. But my daughter picked this for a book report and asked me to read it. I have to say, I was very entertained. And I'm looking forward to the sequel. It was not a traditional dystopian timeline, even though it had all of the similar subject matter. And that it was did not telegraph the clues out too far. I only figured out a few things right as they were happening. I recommend it for some great brain candy!

I loved the first 1/3 of this book; I felt it had a unique an interesting plot, and I was wondering where it was going to take the reader.
After that, it turned into a somewhat violent blend of James Dashner's Maze Runner and (very heavily) Michael Grant's Gone series. I was a little disappointed and found myself thinking "been there, done that". Right down to the details such as the secret government base, the camp on the lake, and the main character personalities...
I'll be interested to give the next book a try and see if it can offer anything unique and interesting, but if it can't offer me anything new in the first few chapters, I won't be continuing on. Sorry.
