May 03, 2017TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
This book had an interesting plot idea that was derived from many different novels and movies but put its own spin on their concepts creating a pretty entertaining an action packed book. this book entertains the idea of what would happen if the world was run by kids no older than 15 and whether they would mature and run a society or whether things would fall into anarchy. I think this concept was done realistically. What Gone excels at is establishing its environment and characters right from the start while not revealing everything, just the important details needed to understand the story. This book had good writing, pretty good characters, and an engaging storyline that jumped perspectives a bit too much. It had good pacing and switched perspectives at the right times to constantly to keep you engaged. I believe Michael Grant has set up good grounds for a sequel as he has completely established the reader into the environment. All considered it was a good book, I would rate it a 3.5/5. This book is definitely for an older audience, such as teens, as it handles a lot of violence and bad situations. If you have read the rule of three series you will probably like this book. @HagridsBucket of The Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board My friend had to read this recently for her culminating assignment. Personally, I read this book a long time ago, but I guess you could say it's interesting enough. Imagine you are living life as any regular person. One day, you wake up to find that all the power is gone and everyone above the age of 18 has disappeared. Would you be gone as well? Here, in this six book series, characters try to establish solid ground in the torn confusing one they are thrust into. Also, what is with the strange powers they are developing? - @Siri of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
