After much deliberation, I decided I should dive straight into the dystopian genre, so I picked this book off my shelves and went into it with a completely open mind and was simply blown away. I had no idea what to be expecting with this book, other than a technology ridden world and a cute little '...

Due to copy and paste, formatting has been lost.It's getting harder and harder to rate books-- although I liked this one, I can't say that I'm loving it. It had a very interesting premise, but it didn't exactly deliver for me. The idea of a digital school is mostly believable, but I find it hard to ...

This was the scariest dystopian I've ever read. Why? Because it's the only one I could ever see becoming real. In fact, it's already becoming real, this is already happening to us. This is a book everyone needs to read at least once.The writing wasn't groundbreaking, but it was enjoyable and easy to...

I sincerely enjoyed Awaken because while the romance was a bit predictable, the originality of the plot was entertaining enough to keep me reading. Cons: It is a short read that could have had a more fulfilling ending and the uneven pacing left me a little disoriented when the main character went fr...

"Life should be a risk. It's more than a straight line that you can see clearly from one point to the other. It dips and curves and you never know what's around the bend sometimes until you get there. That scares a lot of people. But that's the beauty of it."I had a copy of this book for quite awhil...

I was torn between 3 and 4 stars, so I am settling at 3.5, but since GR doens't allow half stars, I'm putting this at 3 stars.The basic story is that Maddie lives an incredibly sheltered life in the yera 2060 where people rarely go out and have face-to-face interactions with one another. Everyone is...

A refreshing dystopian story that uses technology instead of disease, mutants or the apocalypse as the set up for the plot. I loved Maddie. Even if she's a little naive, it makes sense considering what she's been surrounded by while growing up. She wants to try things, she wants to learn and experie...

I want her to fucking slap him, and they start like motherfucking LAUGHING. It pissed me off so fucking bad, you can't even ima...

If I saw a book like this in my school library, I probably wouldn't have picked it up or read it. (I have this horrible habit of judging books by their covers ....)So, anyway, it was a nice day and I had no new books to read. My sister is the type that picks up those ... kiddish books. Like, she doe...
