review 1: I liked the book for the most part, but I thought it pretty stupid that Nick didn't put the car in the garage. I mean, the guys with the walkie-talkies were looking for him and would know the vehicle and license plate and the car had all of his supplies in it. I don't think anybody would make that mistake and Gus would have told him to bring the car into the garage. Then, not to have the cube in bed with him after he knew that Zeke wanted it to get his sister back - come on. Nobody would be that stupid. Other than those two really dumb things, I thought the book was pretty good.
review 2: Overall: Meh. Nothing great. Nothing awful. The writing is tolerable and the premise has some interesting parts to it, but it's clearly meant to appeal to readers who love... more I Am Number 4 and plot-heavy dystopian reads. The male PoV was a nice change of pace. The romance was predictable and generic but balanced, which it rarely is in male PoVs. My biggest issue was that the pacing was so break-neck that the author did nothing to expand on the characters or the world building. This is the kind of book you give to an introductory reader - one who needs a basic plot and high pacing, one who doesn't care so much about deeper threads between the characters. It's not very memorable, but I didn't hate it and might read the sequel (if there is one someday) if it's longer and promises to develop things reasonably. less
