review 1: 3.8KDH, a disease that has killed off the population, leaving only Texas standing, but the disease is still spreading. For the lucky ones, when they die, whether due to the disease, starved, shot, or stabbed, they rise from the dead. Some were dead for 22 minutes and rose, while others were dead for 178 minutes. The risen dead have become Reboots, hated by humans yet stronger and faster then them. Adults over 20 supposedly turned crazy when they've awoke from their deaths, they get killed. Kids, however, are taken by the HARC, to become slaves. They are trained by there best Reboots. They learn to fight and kill. They can take a bolt and survive just about everywhere, except their heads. They are then assigned to assignments to hunt and/or kill troublemakers or adult Reboo... morets. The trainees who become the best train the next set of newbies. Wren, one-seventy-eight is the best of her kind and has the highest number. Those above 120 tend to have no emotions, less human. Wren is one of them. She loves the thrill of the chase. Ones below 60 are more human, more emotional. Wren's trainees always survive and pass, but from the resent new set of newbies, Callum catches her eyes. Callum, twenty-two, has a low number, to human. Wren decides to train him, unusual for her. However, Wren begins to have feelings for Callum. The head of HARC wants Callum dead for being an uncontrolled Reboot, but Wren won't have that. Making a deal with one for the guards, Wren escapes with Callum. Through some troubles, Wren, Callum, and other characters are able to liberate one of the Reboot facilities and bring them to safety. Wren and Callum are together and must now journey on to their next goal. Not bad. What I really liked the most was that the whole boy-girl thing was reversed. Wren is the badass character, best of her kind. Callum is the worst trainee. Unlike the usual where the guy is tough and the girl is weak, but becomes strong. However, I felt that after half way through, everything was going to fast and the details were skipped over. Also, I really didn't like Callum so much. He was a bit to weak and girlish in my eyes. Also Wren's character was lost towards the ending, once the story was going to fast, I felt like the author lost sight in Wren's capability and her lack of emotions. Character descriptions where no longer there...New characters where brought in, they were undeveloped characters that just confused me. Really I just disliked how the book went downhill. It didn't fail, but neither did it get better. In the end, I liked the book. It's a new idea and something I want to continue reading about.
review 2: -- Divergent and Hunger Games lovers rejoice!--I will begin by saying that this novel was a fresh take on the Dystopian genre.Having read Divergent and Hunger Games within the year, I was really looking for something that wasn’t too similar. AND I GOT IT.The first page had me HOOKED. It started off with such a breathtakingly fast pace, that my heart was left racing when I flipped the page. The main character is a badass Heroine. This seems to be what is popular as of late in the YA/Dystopian genres. Which doesn’t make it a bad novel ( from a man’s perspective.) I love the book, possibly more, because it was a girl as a protagonist. She struggles throughout the novel to come to terms with her emotions as a reboot. She is expected to not have any emotions, especially during her assignments and fights. This new boy that is brought in to her life challenges every standard she has come to know in her new life.The writing was fluent, and the read was fast paced to say the least. I started and finished within two sittings. All Dystopian lovers will love this book. less
