Gone by Michael Grant
4.0
I wasn't sure how I felt about this book when I first started reading it. I knew that that the target audience was young adult/teen, but with the style of writing and language used I would be comfortable letting my 9 year old read this.
As the story continued to unfold it became much more interesting. I would describe this book as a modern day take of "Lord of the Flies". There is the struggle for power, the ever present question of what is right, and the fight for survival. And since it is 2014 there is the added issue of mutation, both human and animal.
Despite being unsure when I first started reading "Gone" I'm looking forward to starting "Hunger" the second book in the Gone series. I'm interested in seeing where the author will go with the story line.
