This is also probably chock-full of spoilers. Now… as you can imagine, we spent most of our time discussing the show, not the book, but I pieced together what I could.
(Except for a few of you, and we extra love- and owe- you!)
City of BooksFans of The Hunger Games will love this book set in a post-nuclear-war world.Hello, friends! As you may recall, Holly and I have been promising for basically years to read The 100 since we are so enamored (read: rabid, uncontrollable fangirls) with the show version, and have made you scroll through show recaps that you likely gave zero fucks about. Pretty Little MemoirsI was practically glued to the pages. It's incomparable to any other book alike, but for fans of Divergent and the classic The Hunger Games, you will adore this. Somewhere Between the PagesIf you read just one sci-fi/dystopian book this year.pick this one. I highly, highly recommend you pre-order your copy of this novel today, and get it read before the TV show starts. Despite this book not even being released yet, I find myself craving more of this story already.
I loved the world Morgan created, and the pacing was spot on. Adventures with WordsI enjoyed every minute of it, and I cannot wait to see how they adapt it for the screen. Morgan's style is dramatic, open, fast and accessible, and will certainly appeal to teenage readers of science fiction, and older ones too. I found myself really gripped, racing through the action to see what would happen next. I very much enjoyed the descriptive elements of the setting too the linked spaceships with their different classes of occupants were very well realised, and the sections set on Earth are extremely atmospheric, as the young people experience planet life for the first time. I found The 100 a rapid and enjoyable read - as a new entry into the Young Adult dystopia genre, this is an adventurous page-turner with plenty of action and even some romance. Before the paperback has even had its UK publication, a TV series is being developed by the people behind The Vampire Diaries and Gossip Girl, so I was keen to see what all the buzz was about. Starburst MagazineThe 100 is set to be the next big thing in the world of YA books and TV - I was thrilled to receive one of 100 proofs of the first book in the series to review. packed with powerful and empowered characters. From the strictly monitored one-child policy, to a democracy that is crumbling from within, and a distinct class system that is surely just a spark away from causing the entire colony to explode into conflict, there are multiple fascinating issues that appear to have arisen in this post-apocalyptic society. The back-stories that are gradually revealed for each of the characters are interesting, and provide intriguing hints at the tensions and problems that exist in the spaceships.
