3.5 Stars. I really loved the storyline but like others, I didn't really care for the characters. There were a couple of parts that got my pulse up however. I am glad I read it but I won't be moving on to the next two books. If the next two books in the series were at the library then I probably...

When I started reading The Declaration, it was in first-person, but after a while it changed into third-person (she, he, etc), because ‘Surplus Ann...

Great premise, lackluster story.I actually contemplated stopping reading this one halfway through (which I rarely do) just because the writing style was bothering me so much. There was more *telling* than *showing* and some of the backstory tangents revealed things about the characters which seemed...
I loved the theme of this book, a perfect world where no one dies, but that means the world is quickly over populated. Meaning you end up with surpluses, childern born illegally who are forced to work to "repay" their sin of being alive.Our main characters are Anne and Peter, Anne who has been at Gr...
Would you make the choice to live forever even if it meant you wouldn't be allowed to have children? In the year 2140 most people do. In order to take Longevity, people have to sign the Declaration. People that choose to have children anyway are arrested and put in prison and the children are tak...
