The Hundred

review 1: This one improves on the first one. I didn't mind Glass' sections so much this time because this one focused more on the colony and the colony's health whereas the first book didn't really get into that until the end. I also like how different Kass Morgan is keeping the books from the tv show. I love the show, but I like seeing the books develop at the same time so that it becomes the same universe just with different people imagining how things progress.
review 2: Better than book 1, with potential for book 3 to be even better.Full review: readinglark.blogspot.comI left book 1 hoping that book 2 would fulfill some of the promise in this story line. I am happy to report that I got my wish. Read my review of book 1 here.Day 21 does a nicer job of telling the sto... morery at hand; I suppose it's easier with the world-building and character introduction out of the way in book 1 to concentrate just on plot here in book 2. This series avoids the usual slump of the second book, which has to recover from book 1's climactic ending; I think this is a happy side-effect of the serialized structure. The structure here is still quite episodic, but cleaner than in book 1; transitions are more skillfully executed, and the focus is easier to follow. The reading experience is more enjoyable as a result, and the reader is better able to engage with characters in their struggle to make sense of what's going on. There are two distinct stories going on here: the one on Earth's surface and the one that takes place in the space colony. While Clarke, Wells and Bellamy struggle to survive both the wilds of nature and their emotional natures on the surface, Glass and Luke are caught up in their own Romeo and Juliet- like drama in the colony. My favorite chapters were those that focused on Luke and Glass, though I certainly enjoyed the surprise twist in the Wells/Clarke/Bellamy dynamic. I am really excited that this series has been translated to the small screen, and look forward to viewing those episodes while I wait for book 3. Things are really starting to cook with this plot, and I am really excited to see where it goes next. less

Not as good as the first book.The plot is compelling and faces an issue that we could be facing not too far from now. I can imagine this happening and can understand what things would be like if we were to face World War III and Earth was no longer survivable. The connections that the author has built between the characters never fail to surprise me and add to the twist of the story.In terms of writing and craft though, I think this book lacks that "special touch" that some other books have. I just feel that the author could have put more detail into the changes in the relationships of the characters.Overall, pretty good, even though the first book was better.

I'm a big fan of the show The 100, so I wanted to see how the books compared. I'm enjoying the books even though there are substantial differences between it and the show. The same is true about The Vampire Diaries, but I understand that books and film are two different animals and often need different approaches to be successful. And I'm fascinated to see what those changes are and how they're incorporated into the TV show.

Can't wait for the next book.
