Mandodrage Meadows is the name of the community that the "chosen" people in Gated live in but it's not just any community. Mandodrage is actually an anagram for Armageddon. Congrats to YouKneek & Passionate About Books for guessing correctly!! : ) After 9/11, Pioneer, the leader of the community ...
I need to get the sequel to this book immediately. I still have so many questions . . . Lyla and her family are a little unusual. They live in a place called the Community with a man named Pioneer and twenty other families. The families are rarely allowed to leave the Community, and Pioneer is their...
With quotes from Jim Jones, David Koresh & Charles Manson beginning chapters of this book, you knew the Pioneer would be a twisted man. This book was horrifying in it's resemblance to what you see in the news about people brainwashed and living their lives by the laws of one lunatic. This was terr...
OVERALL IMPRESSION: I loved this book so much. I've heard some talk of people not liking this book, so I was a little worried going into it, but I ended up loving it. There is a creepy cultish feeling in the begininng of the book, which hooked me right away. I'm fascinated by stories about cultures ...
Lyla's family has lived in the Community since shortly after 9/11. They, like every other family there, were invited by Pioneer to get away from the evil of the world. They are the chosen ones who will survive the end of the world. Everything is perfect in the Community. Or at least, that's what Lyl...
Where to even begin this one!?! This book is a scary as hell look into the life of a cult community and how certain situations in life can force people to be led into a peaceful community with complete separation from the horrors and reality of life. Could you be led into the situation if your chil...
If you've followed my reviews for any length of time, you'll know I have a strange obsession with books based on cults. There's something about the thorough brainwashing these people experience that fascinates me. Amy Christine Parker weaves a chilling story. A story about what happens to the childr...
I think I'll have much to look forward to from Amy Christine Parker in the future, because "Gated" was probably the first YA novel I've read that tackled the issue of cults in such a complex, illuminating and enthralling story. It especially stands out with its attention to the mentality behind the ...
I don't know what I was expecting from [b:Gated|15752340|Gated|Amy Christine Parker|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1356086554s/15752340.jpg|21447291]. My first bet was on zombies but, if not that, my second guess was Mormons. Turns out I was wrong! This is a book that starts mild and ent...
All I kept thinking about as I read this book was “don’t drink the Kool-aid!” This book reminded me so much of Jim Jones and his group of followers who were members of the People’s Church who committed suicide in Guyana even as I began reading chapter one. Lyla and her family are just one of many ...
