review 1: I teetered between three and fours stars for this one. It was a quick read and quite entertaining. I enjoyed it...just not sure if I will continue with the series. As stated on the outer cover from a reviewer...it is another retelling of Lord of the Flies...one that I think is more friendly to modern youth. Teens....cut off from the world and forced to survive with violent results. Teens who enjoys apacolyptic stories will certainly enjoy this.
review 2: I think it’s safe to say that it’s a major page-turner, filled with suspense and cliffhangers. Despite this, however, I do think that it has some flaws. For example, the book takes place in a high school that is very stereotypical—almost too much so. Before the quarantine began, David was that stere... moreotypical “popular all-star quarterback” that you see when you’re watching a cheesy show about an impractical high school. And, of course, you can’t forget his very popular, “Queen Bee” girlfriend, Hilary. I think the author did a rather bad job of creating a realistic high school setting. I found the overall scenario after the quarantine unrealistic as well. The students in the high school are given supplies for survival by the government, and they treat it like the supplies in the Cornucopia in The Hunger Games. Instead of attempting to help everyone, they stayed in their cliques and killed anyone who threatened their survival. Did it never cross anyone’s mind that everyone could survive if they all worked together? Overall, I’d say that this book is a gory, spine-tingling, overall interesting book, but it could definitely use some improvement. less
