A somewhat similar theme as other dystopian stories but still engaging. There is a bit more romance here than I would have liked as I would have liked to have known more of the trials. Other reviews stated this was similar to the hunger games but other than the main characters dressers, I don't see it. This was book one of three. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieThe Culling (1)
150 years after a virus wipes out most of the world's population, Reagan Scott finds herself chosen for the State of the Union's fifth Culling. She will compete against forty-nine of the country's brightest girls. And then, of course, there are the fifty boys. She'll have to pair up with one for her shot at becoming the next Presidential Couple. Though the government truly means well, not everything is as it seems. She will be tested to the fullest extent while an evil storm brews. With eliminations happening frequently, how far can she make it? And if she makes it far enough to meet the boys, how can she be expected to, at just eighteen years of age, find a partner . . . for life? Does she have what it takes to be the next Madam President?

A strong female lead, Jet survives with her mother and younger brother, though we aren't able to meet them in this book. She's trained with a sword, and she's known for her bravery and violent nature. This book isn't about living in the wasteland though, because Jet, at the beginning of the book, is being hunted down by a culling ship.
Get ready for a shocker. Despite what the cover implies, this book is actually about Jet being kidnapped and forced into slavery by the aliens who took over the planet, the big blue lizards as they're referred to many times in the story. And if you don't like it, they'll sting you with their tails and render you conscious but completely submissive and drugged.
Though there's another series with the same name and a similar cover, I can't see them being very similar otherwise. This book was a very intense but powerful read. It's about fighting back, even when all hope is lost. It's about staying strong and doing what's right even when what you're facing is terrifying and strange.
If you're a fan of books like the hunger games, but want something a little more mature and science fiction based, you should check this book out. It's intense, it's scary, and it has a lot of twists I never expected. It's also very well written, and I couldn't put it down once I picked it up. I can't wait to check out the next one. ( )
