2. Book Reviews
• "...brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced...a futuristic novel every bit as good and as
allegorically rich as Scott Westerfeld's 'Uglies' books." --The New York Times, John
Green
•
• “...enthralling, imaginative and creepy...”--Los Angeles Times
• "Collins's characters are completely realistic and sympathetic as they form alliances
and friendships in the face of overwhelming odds; the plot is tense, dramatic, and
engrossing. This book will definitely resonate with the generation raised on reality
shows like "Survivor" and "American Gladiator."--School Library Journal, STARRED
REVIEW
•
• Impressive world-building, breathtaking action and clear philosophical concerns make
this volume, the beginning of a planned trilogy, as good as The Giver and more
exciting."--Kirkus
