A review by michelleheegaard
Riot by Sarah Mussi
3.0
I loved the plot of it all. In love reading about the fall (or in this case almost-fall) og society. I don't know. That is just my thing. And this thing were you snip all the pour people so they can't reproduce? Totally unique! I have never heard of anything or even thought of anything liked it, so this was definetly a goldmind to me. And the author wrote people pretty well.
What I liked the best about the book was the beginning and the middlepart. I didn't like the ending. It got a little superhero-ish at the end, which is not my thing. At all... So that ruined it for me a bit. Also the two main charachters Tia alis Eva and Cobain were both really unrelatable. I liked Tia for her different skills and she was so naive, when it came to realizing, excactly what the government could do. And Cobarin was a pretty cool charachter as well. Him being the rough guy growing up in a crappy environment. What I absolutely didn't like was the two of them together. The scenes between them were so unnatural. All of a sudden they were head over heels in love with each other. Like they had know each other for years. Come one, they have basically know each other for what? A week? Besides, Tia hates yobs. It is very unlikely that she would change her mind, just because she meets someone with shiny green eyes.. That was a no-go for me and also a big reason why I refuse to give it higher than 3 stars. The great plot and idea in the book and the authors writing-methods are the only things that keeps it away from 2 stars.
