I honestly think I spent too much time on this book for me to really give a well-thought-out and accurate rating. Normally 558 pages would have took me 2 days or even 1, but since I was so busy with other things it took me an entire week. Or two. I've heard a lot of good things about this book and w...
I was attracted to the book because I liked the premise. I'm always fascinated with the idea of people just disappearing (kind of like the Left Behind series).

But 3 weeks into this book and still unfinished? Well.... i was having doubts... So, i usually adore post-apocalypse/apocalyptic books, s...
As a fan of apocalyptic science fiction, I was very excited to read GONE by Michael Grant. In the blink of an eye, everyone over the age of fourteen disappears. POOF! Teachers in the middle of a lesson, mothers preparing their babies’ bottles, people driving down the road - all just GONE! Panic b...
