![]() I can't help but notice the many parallels the series has with The Hunger Games. If you seek a good read I recommend passing this selection up for another. ![]() Felt like a Hollywood action sequel, sad knock off where explosions and gore are used to distract from the poor acting and sub par plot. This author quickly loses the thread of believability. Things were reviled at such a pace that you felt like you were on an exciting ride, wanting more. Those plots were interesting and believable. I've enjoyed books penned by lazy author. Key characters go under developed I never could come to care about them. I skimmed passed large portions of the book where the author regularly inserted a character sole for the purpose of delivering a speech/explanation. Lazy writing –author tells you, does not show you. ![]() Something that can be forgiven if the plot is fast paced and well developed. I pen this rare review to save the next unsuspecting reader. ![]() Having not read these other books and seeking a fast paced mindless weekend read I felt confident disappointment would not be my fate. ![]() Most low reviews I read expressed disappointment, let down expecting a similarity with other near-future teen-lit (Hunger Games, Divergent). ![]()
