I love this book. I started it last Wednesday night and finished it tonight which is Tuesday for another 6 minutes. 6 days and completed. Just as much days it took me to read The Hunger Games.I will say this it was very similar to The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner (especially after the 3rd test a...
The Testing. Written by Joelle Charbonneau. I grab my tape recorder; turning it on thinking of all my past sequences. My love. My previous life will be all forgotten, only recorded on this device for only me. My shaking hand grabs the play button whispering a sadden story of this past month. The...
Wow. All I can say is wow! This is literally one the absolute craziest books I have ever read! When I started the book I never expected the testing to be like it was! Every step of the testing process shocked me! There aren't many authors who can write horror like this! In a time when dystopian f...
I'm still not relating to Cia at all, and I still don't get or believe her relationship with Tomas, but luckily that's not a main plot in the second book. As a middle book, not bad though. I just don't think the whole students killing each other and no one really knows about it is very believable...
Very satisfying so far. My feeling that this series would be an excellent suggestion for fans of the Hunger Games/Divergent variety has been absolutely confirmed. I devoured this second book in the trilogy and look forward to the next installment. The lead character, Cia, remains likeable even as...
Audiobook - Horrible. I didn't like the first book, but we wanted another audio book and this was there. I can't stand stories where the main character is so obviously stupid in her actions and this book is exactly that. This is especially annoying since she's supposed to be super smart. Plus, it...
ok I do like these books but I absolutely hate it when authors rehash everything from previous books. once in a while ok sure but in every paragraph? it's not as bad in the series as in others I have read but there is a lot. give your readers some credit don't assume they won't remember. its anno...
Well it seems that this series in my opinion although showing great promise at the beginning seemed to end not with the bang I was hoping for but with a bit of a sizzle. The ending was not only highly predictable but also highly anti-climatic. The battle looming throughout the first two books cam...
I liked this series because it teaches some valuable lessons about how far we can trust our leaders, however I feel that there was entirely too much death and destruction. The book also allowed too many secrets to be kept for the populous. I think that the moral would have been better served if...
This barely qualifies as a short story! Most of it is the beginning of The Testing so there is really only about 10 pages of new material.It seems weird to include the first chapters of The Testing because I'd guess that the vast majority of people who download this book do so because they have ...
I love that this is in Zeen's perspective, but, seriously? 9 pages? That is literally all there is that isn't in the first book. Even the FAQ is taken straight from the first book. Let's face it, who would be reading this who has not already read The Testing? So much more could have been done wi...
The plan was simple. Come home to Indian Falls, Illinois just long enough to deal with selling her mother's old roller skating rink and then go back to Chicago and her job as a mortgage broker. But when Rebecca Robbins discovers the dead body of the town's handyman in the rink's bathroom, she rea...
