3.0

This book is like dystopian chick-lit. I was really excited by the premise of the story, but somehow the author almost managed to ruin it. What I hate most in books are too many "coincidences" that benefit to the story just perfectly. I still enjoyed it, but I'm just thinking that I may have enjoyed it more when I was younger and less critical.


The story puts a lot of emphasis on crushes (Tom and Niki, Tom and Gwen, Niki and Brock), but in the end you don't even figure out what the hell is going on with any of those. That annoyed me just a little.


Also, I think the author could have just introduced the Whippersnapper in a different, more believable way.


All-in-all a decent dystopian read for preteen girls.
