Reality TV meets a chillingly realistic version of America--and the fame game is on!Amy had dreams of going to college, until the Collapse destroyed the economy and her future. Now she is desperate for any job that will help support her terminally ill grandmother and rebellious younger sister. When she finds herself in the running for a slot on a new reality TV show, she signs on the dotted line, despite her misgivings. And she's right to have them. TLN's Who Knows People, Baby--You? has an irresistible premise: correctly predict what the teenage cast will do in a crisis and win millions. But the network has pulled strings to make it work, using everything from 24/7 hidden cameras to life-threatening technology to flat-out rigging. Worse, every time the ratings slip, TLN ups the ante. Soon Amy is fighting for her life--on and off camera.

However, what convinced me was the review written by Gabby from Chapter by Chapter (Review h...
Flash Point by author Nancy Kress is officially on my top twenty list of favorite novels of all time. It made me laugh, cry and it even managed to thrill me to the point where I had no clue what would happen in the future of the novel’s plot. The first thing I think I should say to anybody who is re...
That was a strange read. Had so much potential but fell & fell hard. Sad when a book you're looking forward to leaves you wondering what the heck that just was? Full review to follow.
Going into this book I had no expectations. I didn't know what I was going to be reading. I had never read this author before, and to be frank, I doubt I will be reading this author again after this experience, which was not a very good one. Trying to articulate this in words will be fairly difficul...
