I loved the idea behind this book. An interesting concept that makes for good reading for a novel that features dystopia themes. Although it’s not that much different from your usual themes (your usual plague ridden society, with the poor suffering, and the rich being..well rich) it was still worth ...

I am sooooo glad I picked up this series. It's so exciting and such a page turner! Starters is an action-packed book that's a great mix of Maximum Ride and The Hunger Games. The world painted by Lissa Price is vividly futuristic. The beginning of the story was a bit of a drag for me, but I guess it ...

Mi sono avvicinata a Starters con un filo di scetticismo, ma superati i primi tre capitoli ci sono cascata in pieno!Un mondo distopico, nel quale una guerra batteriologica ha ucciso tutti gli adulti sotto i sessant'anni, risparmiando solo anziani (Enders) e bambini (Starters). Un mondo in cui gli En...
