Seen at Scott Reads It!**I would like to thank Disney-Hyperion for providing me an ARC on NetGalley.** Beta is one of those books that came with alot of hype and publicity. I read many mixed reviews for Beta but I didn't let that stop me from reading it. Beta has a super interesting concept but I ...
I’ve seen Beta by author Rachel Cohn on a bunch of top YA reading lists on Goodreads and I’ll admit, I’ve been pretty excited to start reading. Especially since the description makes it sound a lot like Wither by Lauren Destefano, which I loved .So when I finally got the chance to start reading Beta...

I just couldn't finish this one. Two reasons: there were some things I found disturbing (the treatment of the betas, which I understand, but didn't like) and I was just plain bored. It never really held my interest.

It's a short & fast read, better than I expected. The premise is hardly new but there are some nice twists, & The Elysia/Tahir stuff is also quite nice imho. I hope Alex & the "insurrection" can be treated more critically in the sequels.
It was interesting, definitely. Teetering between 2 and 3 stars, but for now it will be 3.Posted on Dark Faerie Tales.Rachel Cohn’s Beta has a gorgeous cover. Even from the ARC (advanced reading copy), it has multiple overlay layers that blend between matte, shiny, and metallic. It’s gorgeous, and s...
booknook — Young Adult book reviewsBeta was so much darker than I anticipated! If you're looking for a light, interesting read about clones, look somewhere else. Beta has suicide, heartbreak, murder, drugs, rape, and slavery! WOW! Totally not what I expected, but I ended up loving it.This book i...
This and other reviews can be found on Reading Between ClassesCover Impressions: The color covers are pretty but it feels like someone went a little overboard in photoshop. The tattoo and violet eyes would have been much more impressive if they had been part of the original photo shoot rather than ...
I won’t mince words and as a result I am going to spoil this book a little. If you are afraid of spoilers, please don’t read on. Fair warning.When a book uses rape as a plot point, especially when the character was initially a supporting and caring brother-like figure, I get pissed off. When this is...
