This review was originally posted on Bookish Things & MoreI never thought I’d find a book that gave me the same feelings I had when I read The Hunger Games. The testing totally gave me that feeling. It has a sort of Hunger Games feel to it, but so much worse. Who would want to be part of a progra...

This book reminds of a lot of other books such as The Hunger Games, Under the Never Sky, The Giver, and Divergent, but it is unique in its own way. In a future earth, ravaged by seven wars, the United Commonwealth mandates that gifted young students participate in the Testing. Only a fraction wil...
