This is one of the few books that I read AFTER seeing the movie, the movie making me want to read it when I previously had no interest. And I loved it and the premise of the story. The story opens with Thomas, locked in a metal box-like lift that is moving through the darkness. He remembers noth...
As an occasional reader of YA dystopia, I really wanted this to be more interesting than it was…great idea and great world building, but I didn’t care enough about the characters. In fact, I don’t think I cared about a single one of them, except Thomas because he is the protagonist and it was kind o...
Today We DidAll that Thomas can remember is his first name. There are brief images from his past life, but no details, no faces, no context. He quickly discovers he is not the only boy to enter the Glade with his memories curiously removed. The Glade is situated in the middle of a vast and complicat...
I had heard all the hype about this book, and we had just gotten the DVD, so I was excited to read the book and jump onto the bandwagon. Unfortunately, because I have read so many similar books in the dystopian/post-apocalyptic genre, I believe I set my expectations rather high and this book simply ...

How I feel about every single character in this heap: All Thomas does is ask questions like a damn 5-year-old (I have one, so trust me, I know). Chuck is obnoxious. Everyone else seems pointless. I tap out when coma-chick starts telepathically speaking to Thomas. This. Is. Stupid. I will not ...
2.5...ish.The book was alright. I think if I'd been a loooooot younger, like maybe 10, I would have liked it a lot better. as it happens I'm not 10 and so I didn't get to enjoy it the same way.The characters were bland, Thomas spent an awful lot of time saying how Smart he thought he was (but doing ...
