I'm usually an average reader, one book takes me 3-4 days to read if I read it every day. However, with A.C.I.D. I read it in 1.5 days, that's right less than half that of most books I've read. It had me captivated from day 1. I only wish that Emma Pass would write a sequel continuing Jenna's story,...
Blurb:The year is 2113. In Jenna Strong's world, ACID—the most brutal controlling police force in history—rule supreme. No throwaway comment or whispered dissent goes unnoticed—or unpunished. And it was ACID agents who locked Jenna away for life, for a horrendous crime she struggles to remember. But...
Get a grip, Jenna, I tell myself furiously. People’s lives depend on you tomorrow, and all you can think about is snogging Max. As a child, I read almost the entire Baby Sitter's Club books. Almost 20 years later, I am rather bemused and amused to realize that I've essentially just read another stor...
I have been waiting for this book since forever and you guys cannot imagine my excitement when the local bookstores started stocking this bad boy. It involved a little squealing followed by shrieking and fist pumps everywhere because FINALLY. So I have to admit, ACID isn't exactly what I expected. ...
This was a treat. Many times when you read dystopian books you can't help but get a feeling of, but what about the rest of the world? In this one Britain has separated themselves completely from Europe and the rest of the world. No internet, no TV or movies. But we do get to see the reactions, we ge...
ACID is a kick-ass sci-fi thriller set in a future dystopian England. Jenna Strong (a great protagonist name!) leads the way in this action-packed debut novel about identity, equality, and oppression. I absolutely loved the premise of this story. The 1984-esque, Orwellian setting of 2113 London is f...
In her debut novel, Emma Pass has a very bleak future in mind for the United Kingdom for those who fight to keep the freedoms they had in the past: The year is 2113 and Jenna Strong is the only female occupant of the world's most violent prison. She has had to strive to live every day that she is ...
"And it was ACID agents who locked Jenna away for life, for a horrendous crime she struggles to remember."Maybe I didn't get far enough in the book - I dropped it at only 4% after the first chapter - but she doesn't seem to be struggling all that much:'I killed my parents,' I murmur, and watch his e...
This book has been sitting around in my room for a while, so I figured it was about time that I should read it. I had been a little put off by some bad reviews that I’d seen, and that lowered my expectations for this book, but I was pleasantly surprised. It certainly didn’t wow me, but I definitely ...
Actual rating: 4.5(View this review on My Library in the Making.)My, my, my—what a read! Acid is definitely one of the most shocking books I've ever read. It had me in its grip right from page one and took me to one hell of a dystopian ride; it didn't lack the complexity that I look for in books.Jen...
