Feedback by Robison Wells

scarletcorset's review against another edition

4.0

**4 STARS**

This was such a thrilling read! I ended up liking this one more than the first book. Action from the very beginning right to the last page; I was nervous the entire time! I would've liked to have seen a different ending to the series though... Maybe more of a shocking finale...? But overall, the concept of this series was so bizarre and abnormal that it made the entire story so captivating and I really enjoyed it.

I didn't like this one as much as the first one, it almost seemed to move a little slower, and there weren't as many tense points. It also starts getting a lot more complex (well the ending does, anyway). I wonder if there will be a third, because things didn't tie up nicely at the end, but then again they tied up a lot more neat than the first book.

Quite a disappointing sequel, unfortunately. I did like the action though, but that was it.

Really liked book 1. Finished it in one sitting.
Book 2? Meh.
The ending? Meh.
The 'big reveal.' Meh.
Overall? Meh.

I would have given this three stars if the last ten pages didn't exist. REALLY?!

Amazing. Pretty much tied with the 1st book to the series Variant. I probably wouldn't read it a second time but I rarely ever read something over again.

Feedback is Variant's sequel. I was really hoping that this would be as spectacular as the first, but it was sadly not. In fact, at some parts in this book I was debating putting it down because, quite frankly, some parts of this book are disgusting.

First, it had some super repulsing parts, mainly the box cutter scenes. (It's what the kids do to make sure no one's a robot, and it was seriously grossing me out. I was trying not to gag, I kid you not.) when Benson mentions seeing the 'pink of bone' I literally almost lost it. I mean, ewww! That's not exactly a wonderful mental image! Also, there was this one part where I all I could think was, "Well. That escalated fast."

Spoiler

It's the part where one of the characters, Isaiah ends up getting beaten to death. First, they're doing interviews with him. Then, some random yelling. Then, Isaiah ends up getting murdered. Ummm....okay....I guess these kids have tempers?

Some people complained about this in Variant, but I didn't see it. In Feedback, I understood what they were talking about.

But, the story was still mostly enjoyable. When Robinson Wells wasn't bringing up the dreaded box cutter, I was really engrossed in Feedback. It's the kind of story that you just get completely swept up in; not as much as Variant, but still very good. Benson and Becky's relationship developed even more, and you find out some things about Maxfield Academy at the end that clear up a lot of confusion you might have from the first book.

So, four stars. It didn't live up to all of my expectations, but I wasn't too disappointed.
