{March 26th 2014} UPDATEIt's funny. I actually was looking ALL over for this book when it first came out, and this was after I had saw it when looking for another one and it just stayed with me. I mean dat cover, and dat blurb! It totally felt like something I should read to keep me in the mindset o...
This review was originally posted on amazon on January 20, 2012: Dystopian is where it is at with Young Adult fiction these days, and this book attempts, without much success, to jump on that bandwagon.This book is deeply, deeply flawed. That's actually too nice. It is really bad. Let me count the...
One of the many dystopias that’s on the shelves, one that I decided to pick up because the plot itself looked and sounded interesting. For the most part it was. Albeit, the pace itself of the story was a bit slow. The setting itself isn’t so bad, Lucy herself is a survivor and knows how to live on h...

Lucy is the only one that is left from her family after the plague hit. She has been surviving for almost a year completely on her own. Lucy appears to be strong and independent. I was really impressed with how she managed to feed herself and took care of herself for the first part of the book. Once...
I listened to this as a podcast from podiobooks.com. I really enjoyed it. In the beginning I was kind of confused since we were just entering the lives of so many people and it seemed random. However, I appreciated how Hutchins tried to differentiate between each of the clones with different names, ...
Not a bad dystopian novel where smallpox's, floods and droughts have caused the people in New York and I am sure around the world. Lucy needs to fight for survival and along the way other survivors and people who are hunting her.
