NEW BOOK

Soo while Hunger Games was amazing and I cannot wait to read the second book,  I have yet to get my hands on a copy.  Lazy you say? A little.  Done with reading forever? I think not! Instead i will be reading the third novel of one of my facortie fiction series, GONE.  The third book is entitled Lies and the series author is Michael Grant, and for the readers who are not familiar with these books I wanted to give a quick summary of what is going on.  Basically this is a world with no adults and kids with superpowers.  Sounds awesome? It's not.  This kids face starvation, evil kids with powers, a dome surrounding them that burns you when you touch it, and oh yeah the fact that when you turn 16 you disappear, unless youre Sam.  Sam was able to come back after his birthday (shocking that the main character stays in the novel).  So these kids do not know what happened and they are not getting far on figuring it out.  This series is like one long Twilight Zone episode, and Twilight Zone is one of my favorite shows.  I'm so glad i finally get a chance to read this novel.

  2. I've heard about this series, it's definitely on my to-read list. Hopefully it won't disappoint like some other YA novels I've heard of/read. Dystopian is definitely becoming ever so popular with the rise of The Hunger Games, which, to original fans like me, is somewhat of a blessing and a curse. Anyway, I'm going to check out the Gone series soon!
