SYNOPSIS:
"In the blink of an eye. Everyone disappears. GONE.
Except for the young. Teens. Middle schoolers. Toddlers. But not one single adult. No teachers, no cops, no doctors, no parents. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no internet, no television. No way to get help. And no way to figure out what's happened.
Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents—unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers—that grow stronger by the day.
It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen, a fight is shaping up. Townies against rich kids. Bullies against the weak. Powerful against powerless. And time is running out: On your birthday, you disappear just like everyone else..."
REVIEW:
I haven't go any clue who Michael Grant is or what the hell the book Gone is. Though in Amazon, I've been browsing to dystopian books which is what I crave for right now. I said, "Oh, it's just one of those Stephen King novels with everything happening in just one snap right?"
Well, my predicaments are wrong!
It's good that I haven't thought that, I do like Stephen King novels, that's why i don't like authors who try so hard to be like him (I don't like to give out names). So, let's get started.
They're gone with the wind.
That's where the story drew me.
First off, the premise of the book is very very intriguing. A thought of "How the heck are they going to live in a situation like this?
Back to the review, I thought that the book would be predictable. That every situation is very situational. I thought that I could've guessed the ending (which I did, but I know some didn't).
But it was all wrong. I love the chemistry between Sam and Astrid, though they may have differences, their love mediates things (corny Glenn, very). I also loved the protagonists. Their I dunno, weird in cases to be actuated that I liked very very
