1st let me say, I'm a mom; I read this because my teen wanted to read it. I read the whole series, even though I threw the second book at a wall, disgusted.
I'm adding this review for balance among the apparent love for the book among the reviewers. As a mom, I pretty much hate it.
1st - I've noticed that more & more authors are writing at a high school level, that manages to grab your attention like a bad movie; that's it! We have a whole generation of people who write like they watch TV movies...and the answer is always...add more drama & the fans will love it! Make it gorier! Add some violence! Wait, sex? Seeeexxxx, where are youuuuu?! Oh, it's YA.
2nd - Not a single adult cusses in this book. A world full of crazy people, people that will eat your nose off, but no one cusses. Not even the word "shit" is apparently acceptable.
Okay, so no sex & no "shit." But please add as much violence, blood, gore & torture as one mind can think up! Go YA writers!
(um, while I'm definitely not a YA, I'd rather have both the sex & the "shit")(I'd also rather teach my teen about sex than violence)
3rd - Can I just say, thank you for not taking time out from running for your lives to have sex? Nothing like being caught with your pants down.
4th - Just focused on book 1...what is the point? This is just plain ugly. Drama for little to no purpose, with a few teasers.
