It's much better than the first book, so I'm glad I decided to keep reading the series. Some of the twists took me completely by surprise, others were foreshadowed just enough that I figured out what was going to happen, but not so much that I didn't enjoy the ride. Good book.

I found this book harder to get into than the first one, but I pushed on and am looking forward to reading the next book. I'm glad another main character has been introduced, because I was becoming bored with Peter and Anna. I'm curious to find out exactly who Pip is, and look forward to seeing Jude grow into something more than the shallow character he started out as.

Sometimes sequels disappoint - this one doesn't. We see how hard it is for Peter and Anna to live as Legals, decades younger than anyone else, and find out more about the sinister goings on at Pincent Pharmaceuticals. A great page turner!

This book was spectacular! The plot thickens, the characters grow, the world of the novel expands, and we get to meet a few new wonderful characters that have found a way into my heart. It's really such a wonderful book and ends with a good note and a perfect ending to start off with in the final and third book of the trilogy. It's a book that readers who loved reading The Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, or even The Hunger Games by Suzzanne Collins, will love this trilogy too. It's beautifully written without complicated language that requires constant access to a dictionary. It's just wonderful.

I'm not quite sure why I like these books so much. It started out and I was just eh the first one was better what are you doing?!?! Why are you so stupid?!?! Come on!!! What is going to happen?!?!? I get so caught up in and so tense and nervous. Even though I am yelling at the characters and telling my husband sitting next to me how dumb they are being I am also reading as fast as I can to see if they will make it out of the situation they are in. Will it be a cliffhanger ending? Will everything work out in this book or will we have to wait for the next one? I have to say since I disliked the characters and yelled at them to myself all through the book, and yet I still felt it was worth 4 stars.

I don't usually give up on books once I've invested lots of time in them, but I'm 2/3 of the way through, and I can't stand how submissive and malleable Anna is. It pisses me off that she has to be so weak while Peter is supposed to be the strong one, though wrong, hot-headed, gullible, and arrogant. Anna just wants to have children, etc. blah blah blah, like throw back to 'a woman's place is in the home' bullshit.
Anyway, that's the end of this series for me. I did enjoy the first one though, so it saddens me that the sequel is so lacking. Oh well, there are plenty of books in the sea (?).

This book is not as good as the first in the trilogy, but is still a very good book exploring the issues of power, youth and freedom.

Well....this was interesting. I like how Jude was in it. Introducing him was one of Malley's best things to do in 'The Resistance'. I liked how we saw Peter's struggle, but how it ended seemed too....quick. Pip is a great character, and I liked that fact that everyone who met him mentioned his blue eyes. Such a great add-on. I dislike Anna in this book, but I loved her in the first one.
This book is good, but it has such a cliffhanger at the end. What will happen to Sheila and Jude? What about Peter? I do not care about Anna that much, but I wonder what happened to Richard Pincent. And I feel sad at **. *******'s death. It seemed so surprising and sudden. So sad.
GOOD BOOK! TO READ!

Yet another amazing read from Gemma Malley.
This book follows Peter as he begins a career working with his grandfather Richard Pincent at Pincent Pharma, where they produce the longevity drugs.
With so many twists and turns, I am so glad I read this book. Sadly it fell slightly short of the declaration in my opinion but honestly it was still a great read, and after the first 10 chapters, I couldn’t put it down.
Amazing book, with amazing character development. I definitely recommend people who have read the declaration to read this one next.

Although not quite as engaging as its predecessor [b:The Declaration|1722717|The Declaration|Gemma Malley|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1187405007s/1722717.jpg|1813124] this is still an enjoyable and fast paced read. The story picks up perhaps a few months later. Peter, Anna, and Ben are settling into life together, and to assist the Underground Peter has agreed to go to work for his Grandfather. They've agreed not to sign the Declaration, but after discovering shocking information both begin to question everything they believe in.
The story is told from the perspective of both Peter and Anna with the additional perspective of Peter's half-brother Jude. The Resistance covers a lot of the same ground as The Declaration as Peter and Anna continue to question both the motives of the Underground, and the benefits of Longevity although in this title it is Peter's faith that is truly shaken.
