review 1: I am so glad, Alexandra Bracken wrote this novella, on In Time you get to find out what happens to Zu, but it's told by her. Actually the main character isn't someone that we know; his name is Gabriel (Gabe) and his life is pretty miserable, no money, no job. With whatever money he has left he buys an old truck and leaves his little city to become a skip tracer. I know that sounds horrible, but let's not jump to conclusions yet, like I did when I first started reading this book. He does seem like an horrible person at the beginning as he tells you that he wants to catch one of the freaks (as he calls the kids) and take the money and move west and attend school and get a better job. What he doesn't expect is when he has that one kid, his feelings totally change and ins... moretead of turning the kid in, he actually helps get her to California. And that kid is Zu, lovely, sweet Zu. I felt so attach to these characters, I already loved Zu, but Gabe, once you get to know him, you will just love him, which makes it that much harder to accept the end of this book. No spoilers, you will just have to read, it's a very quick read but one that you will not regret reading. I also loved the way Alexandra Bracken added in a couple more characters that you don't think you really should pay attention and then? Well, you will go back and reread it again and again. I gave the books a 5 out of 5 stars, I loved it, one of the best Novellas I have ever read.
review 2: This book is all from Gabe's perspective--a guy who decides to capture the kids with powers who escape because he needs cash badly. I'm all for the anti-hero, the bad guy you like anyway. But I just didn't like this guy. I'm glad he changes and grows, but the sour attitude and constant cussing (isn't this YA?) made me almost quit this book. I finished, but wish I hadn't wasted the time. His redemption wasn't meaningful enough to make up for the unpleasant first half of the book. less
