I so much enjoyed the story and characters and the world building. This is no run of the mill dystopian young adult romance. This novel actually had more chocolate flavor to it than plain vanilla. What I liked was the slow development of characters and social interaction in this book. There is no in...
I was going to rate this with 4 stars, then with 3 because some of the twists in the last chapters made me hate itlike: she's freaking pregnant and Alexander "imprinted" on her? really? c'mon!, but in general the story is pretty unique and entertaining so... 3.5 stars.
Originally posted at yAdult ReviewLet’s state it right away. If you do not enjoy: rape, slavery, and/or excessive drug use this is not the book for you. If I am being honest with you, and I always want to be, the excessive drug use didn’t even blip on my radar; however, a friend of mine read it and ...
Let me tell you why the first thing I thought about Beta was: 'Oh god, this sounds so amazing!'Not only did Rachel Cohn do a good job with the world setting and with the clones and the overall idea sounded good.The world has been changed by the Water Wars, and the richest people now created an islan...

In short: the clones seem more like androids (except for [spoiler redacted]): programmable, a...
Took awhile to get into, but I'm so glad I didn't give up on this one. New, original, and really, really good story! Awesome last page! Can't wait for the next!
There are a lot of different reviews out there for Beta. I've heard both good and bad things, however, I absolutely loved this book! Maybe it's because it's both science fiction and dystopian, or maybe it was the brilliant writing which kept me up way past when I should have been sleeping, but I can...
I wouldn't suggest to anyone under 16. It has many scenes I felt would be inappropriate for a younger reader.(including a rape) There are many things that didn't work for me. The biggest one being the way the teenagers talk. "Kidding! Sorta!" & The explanation of "awfuls". The last section of this b...
Overall, I enjoyed Beta. I knew next to nothing about the plot save for it being a new sci-fi story that a blogging friend raved about and for the most part, it was entertaining. But to be honest with you, the main character - Elysia - ruined it for me. I think that Beta (book #1 of the Annex series...
