Glitch (Glitch #1) by Heather Anastasiu

Synopsis:
In the Community, there is no more pain or war. Implanted computer chips have wiped humanity clean of destructive emotions, and thoughts are replaced by a feed from the Link network.

When Zoe starts to malfunction (or “glitch”), she suddenly begins having her own thoughts, feelings, and identity. Any anomalies must be immediately reported and repaired, but Zoe has a secret so dark it will mean certain deactivation if she is caught: her glitches have given her uncontrollable telekinetic powers.

As Zoe struggles to control her abilities and stay hidden, she meets other glitchers including Max, who can disguise his appearance, and Adrien, who has visions of the future. Both boys introduce Zoe to feelings that are entirely new. Together, this growing band of glitchers must find a way to free themselves from the controlling hands of the Community before they’re caught and deactivated, or worse.

This book was really confusing to me. Nothing really seemed straight forward. Also it felt like this book went no where. Don't get me wrong it had some really good parts to it that were really fun to read. But most of it seem the same chapter after chapter. Even the twists and turns in this book seemed boring. Like they knew you were going to stop reading so they threw them in so you wouldn't. 

Also the guys and the relationships in this book seemed flat and not worth reading. 

That why I gave this book a 3/5. Though it is not completely horrible I just didn't enjoy the book. I wouldn't recommend this book.

Not sure yet if I will read the rest of the books in the series. I think I will just to finish the series and to see if it gets any better or I might just skip the other books. Time will tell. 

Condor by Pam Bachorz

Synopsis:
In the model community of Candor, Florida, every teen wants to be like Oscar Banks. The son of the town’s founder, Oscar earns straight As, is student-body president, and is in demand for every club and cause.

But Oscar has a secret. He knows that parents bring their teens to Candor to make them respectful, compliant—perfect—through subliminal Messages that carefully correct and control their behavior. And Oscar’s built a business sabotaging his father’s scheme with Messages of his own, getting his clients out before they’re turned. After all, who would ever suspect the perfect Oscar Banks?

Then he meets Nia, the girl he can’t stand to see changed. Saving Nia means losing her forever. Keeping her in Candor, Oscar risks exposure . . . and more.

In this book you really are what you hear, or more of what you don't actually hear. Oscar does a lot of work to be exactly what his dad doesn't want but also spends a lot of time pretending to be perfect. Tell Nia comes anyways.

This book seemed a little weird and choppy to me, but not too much. I did like where it went though, how everything worked out. Glad with the choices made for this book the author did a good job. I gave it a 4/5 and say its a book I could recommend to people. 

Also the ending was great made the book so much better. Also if you looking for a good book that isn't in a series, and is dystopian this is one of them.

The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1) by James Dashner

Synopsis:
The first book in the New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series—The Maze Runner is a modern classic, perfect for fans of The Hunger Gamesand Divergent.

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade—a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls.

Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they’ve closed tight. And every thirty days a new boy has been delivered in the lift.

Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers. 

Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind.

When I first thought about reading this book I had not a single clue what it was about I just seen lots of other people read it so I would see what its about. When I started the book, first few chapters, I though I was only going to rate this book 3/5 and I probably wouldn't want to read the other books in the series. That changed so quickly. After getting into this book I literally couldn't put it down. It was amazingly good. I felt like I could picture just about everything. I felt for the characters and wondered what was going through there head. It is easy to say that this book is one of my favorite books so far.

- I hear it's also suppose to be a movie soon too. See how that goes when it comes out.

Light (Gone #6) Michael Grant

Synopsis:
It's been over a year since all the adults disappeared. Gone.

In the time since everyperson over the age of fourteen disappeared from the town of Perdido Beach, California, countless battles have been fought: battles against hunger and lies and plague, and epic battles of good against evil. And now, the gaiaphage has been reborn as Diana's malicious mutant daughter, Gaia. Gaia is endlessly hungry for destruction. She yearns to conquer her Nemesis, Little Pete, and then bend the entire world to her warped will. As long-standing enemies become allies, secrets are revealed and unexpected sacrifices are made. Will their attempts to save themselves and one another matter in the end, or will the kids of Perdido Beach perish in this final power struggle?

Light was the last book in the Gone series. First off I'm sad that it ended. This has got to be one of the best series I have read so far. Just over a year all this takes place. Though when reading these books it seems like so much longer. So many battles take place. Everyone changed too. You start out with scared frightened kids, some who take chances and try to keep others alive. Through out these books though they all change they learn to take control of the situations fight back, become who they really are. These kids who are only 15 and younger went through hell and they handled it probably way better then any adult could have ever handled it.

The people who you thought were just evil in the beginning turn out to become better people. It's amazing in the last book and its hard to just hate anyone. Also most people who came out of the FAYZ learned to handle what was going on. I'm so glad how it ended I don't think it could have had a better ending. I'm still sad to see it end but all good things must come to an end.
GREAT JOB MICHAEL GRANT!!!!!!!!!!!

Fear (Gone #5) Michael Grant

Synopsis:
It's been one year since all the adults disappeared. Gone.

Despite the hunger and the lies, even despite the plague, the kids of Perdido Beach are determined to survive. Creeping into the tenuous new world they've built, though, is perhaps the worst incarnation yet of the enemy known as the Darkness: fear.

Within the FAYZ, life breaks down while the Darkness takes over, literally—turning the dome-world of the FAYZ entirely black. In darkness, the worst fears of all emerge, and the cruelest of intentions are carried out. But even in their darkest moments, the inhabitants of the FAYZ maintain a will to survive and a desire to take care of the others in their ravaged band that endures, no matter what the cost.

This book was a little hard for me to get into and read for a long time, but it was still a pretty good book. I liked how everyone is sorta split up and things are kind of happy at least for a while. I really wonder how the last one will come out, and how will everyone will act now that there being watched.
