dystopia
I regret to say, not all books are meant for all readers. I love the concept of this book. I find the author's ability to write in the voice of an undereducated youth remarkable. However, I found it difficult to read through the book because of the voice.
This is exactly what I expected and didn't expect for the final book in the Birthmarked series. I knew that coming home would be difficult, especially with masses of people in tow. But the obstacles were unexpected, yet held true to each of the characters developed personality. O'Brien has done a splendid job of bringing the Birthmarked series to a jaw dropping conclusion.
5 year old Day, who was born in the slums of the Republic's Lake Sector, fights for his life as the Republic's most wanted criminal.
June, a 15 year old girl who was born to a wealthy family in the heart of the Republic, is a military prodigy who is willing to do anything for her country.
When June and Day meet, their worlds are turned upside down. Brought together by the death of June's brother, Metias, June and Day must work together to discover the truth about Matias's death and the real truth behind the Republic itself. How far will the Republic go to keep its secrets hidden?
This dystopian society has taken control to a new level. Our main character is more than willing to let the government guide her life from her meal regimine to whom she is expected to marry and even knows that she will die at 80, because no one in this society lives past that age. With interference from an unknown source we follow a story that leads to emerging free though and an unusual teenage love triangle twist. I am cheering for the main character to step out of her role the government has set up for her, as she presses into a word of free thinking and free choice. I can't wait to read the second book in the series.
5 Stars for Create Your Mate?
[Note: Dual authors Katherine Applegate & Michael Grant]
Think back to all of your old relationships or current one. I didn't say this to scare you but for you to envision the flaws of the other person. There are always flaws or quirks that can twist and bunch your skirts! Just think of this... What if you were given the chance to create a perfect partner? I am curious about the outcome if nothing else. Daughter of a major bio-pharmaceutical mongol, Evening, is handed a program to do just that. Design a flawless mate. I want to give props to our little Eve for stopping to think about if she should create a male or female. I do love me some taboo even if it is for a split minute.
Right from the beginning of Eve & Adam the hustle and bustle made it to be a very fast and inviting read straight away. It was just so riveting that my tea got cold due to me being stuck within the plot. The seriousness was covered up lightly with fun, which was very much appreciated.

I read "Across the Universe" which I give a 5 out of 5 for creativity and the uniqueness of the book and plot. There was adventure, sci-fi, and romance which I enjoyed and I can't wait to see the sequel!
The Hunger Games
I felt that it was the best boook i ever read because through the whole book it made you keep reading. I also liked it because of how it ended, it made you wonder so you have to read the second book.
Catching Fire
I loved it a lot! I couldn't put it down, i think it should be 5 stars because it made you wonder through out the whole book. It was just as good as the first book. Some books you have high expectations for the second book and this book met them.
