review 1: I initially began to read this book because I won the second book in the series in a recent giveaway. I've truly been struggling to finish this book. It started off slow and the whole book takes place in about two weeks with the first week being covered in the first 250 pages and the second week eclipsing the small area known as "the end" of the book. There were several terms that I didn't understand. In the book they reference their time as "BTD" (Before The Dome) At least, I'm assuming that's what it means, because that's what makes the most sense. Anyway, I hope the second one is better.
review 2: Trade/Dystopian YA: I entered the Goodreads giveaway for this book because it had such good reviews. When read a book, I usually read the first chapter then real... morely read the back of the book. (Sometimes the description spoils the whole book). After reading both, all's I could think of was "You are 16 going on 17..." with Liesl and Roth. Only to have Roth join the Nazis and narc on the Von Trapp family. While the kids act like kids: horny; the adults are vindictive. Again, this Dystopian, like other Dystopian societies would not last but a few years before the peasants rose up. There were too many questions on how the dust can be absorbed by shredder (don't think TMNT like I did every time I saw the name). I wanted to know more about how the dome worked. The character of Glory should have died because she made such stupid decisions and was in no way stealth material. She also has no judge of character. The book is an easy read. The characters are 17 to 19, but the writing is for someone younger, like 12 or 13. While it's not a bad story. Glory loves her brother and will do anything to keep him alive. However, the society they live in regresses and is so dreary. If you're a preteen and have not read the Hunger Games or Wool, I recommend it. Otherwise, skip it. less
